Common questions

The expression (3²)³ simplifies to 729. This can be shown by calculating 3² = 9, then raising it to the power 3: 9³ = 729. The expression is equivalent to 3⁶. Comparatively, 27² is not equal since it results in 729, but using 3⁵ would provide 243, making (3⁶) or 729 the correct equivalency .

The expression 9² * 9² can be simplified by adding the exponents when the bases are the same: 9^(2+2) = 9⁴. The numerical value of 9⁴ is 6,561 .

The expression (4a²)² simplifies to 16a⁴. Here, the exponent 2 is distributed to both the coefficient and variable: (4²) * (a²)² = 16a⁴ .

The cube root of 125 is expressed as 125^(1/3) = 5, because 5³ = 125 .

The expression 5 x 5² simplifies to 5³. This is because multiplying numbers with the same base means adding their exponents: 5¹ * 5² = 5^(1+2) = 5³ .

The number 8,450 in scientific notation is expressed as 8.45 x 10³, by moving the decimal three places to the left .

2 raised to the 5th power is 2⁵ = 32. Each multiplication doubles the result, arriving at 32 .

The number 61,000 is expressed in scientific notation as 6.1 x 10⁴. The placement of the decimal point is moved four places to the left, hence the exponent '4' .

The number 0.04 in scientific notation is 4 x 10⁻². The decimal is moved two places to the right, resulting in the negative exponent .

The square root of 66 lies between the consecutive whole numbers 8 and 9 since 8² = 64 and 9² = 81 .
