Answer:

No,
x^(3)*x^(3) *x^(3) = x^(3+3+3) =x^(9) while
x^(3*3*3) =x^(27)

Explanation:

In the first equation, we use the product property, which means we multiply the powers of the same base and add the exponents. In the second equation, we just multiply the exponents. Thus, the expressions are not equivalent.

no they are different

if Base are equal power are added

like wise in first expressions power are added

but in second expressions cube of three is written as x to the power.

so they are not equal
