Question

Crosby and Adam are working with exponents. Crosby claims that 3² * 3³ = 3⁵. Adam argues that 3² * 3³ = 3⁶. Which one of them is correct?

Answer 1

Crosby is correct.

Explanation:

You know this is true because if you plug in 3^2 * 3^3, you get 243.

If you type in 3^5, you get 243. If you type in 3^6, you get 729, which is not true.
