Question

Write the expression using exponents 7•7•7•7•7•7• (–3)•(–3)•(–3)•(–3)

Answer 1

We have the number 7 multiplying itself 6 times, and the number (-3) multiplying itself 5 times, so writing the expression using exponents, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7=7^6 \\ (-3)\cdot(-3)\cdot(-3)\cdot(-3)\cdot(-3)=(-3)^5 \\ \\ 7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot(-3)\cdot(-3)\cdot(-3)\cdot(-3)\cdot(-3)=7^6\cdot(-3)^5 \end{gathered}`

So the final expression is 7^6 * (-3)^5
