Question

Use exponents to create an equivalent expression for: 1) 4 ∙ 4 ∙ 4 2) x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x + 2 *

Answer 1

1) 4^3

2) x^6 + 2

Explanation:

1) 4 is the main number.

Then, however many fours there are is the exponent

( there are 3 fours )

2) x is the main variable

Then however many x's there are, that number will be your exponent

( there are 6 x's )

Answer 2

Explanation:

1) 4 ∙ 4 ∙ 4 is equivalent to 4^3: 4 is the base and 3 is the final exponent of this base.

2) x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x + 2 * needs clarification. What do you mean by " 2 * ?"

x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x + 2 * could be rewritten as x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x + 2, which is equivalent to x^6 + 2. If you're still interested in solving this problem, please double check to ensure that you have copied it down correctly. Thank you.
