Question

Write a numerical expression with exponents to describe the sum of 3x3x3x3 and 36

Answer 1

3^3 and 36^1

Explanation:

3x3x3x3 is multiplying that 4 times so it is to the power of 4

36 is just once so it is to the power of one

Answer 2

`3^(4)` and
`6^(2)`

Explanation:

The given expression are
`3 * 3 * 3 * 3` and
`36`.

To write the first one as exponents, we just set the number 3 as a base and the exponent as number 4, because the repeating number is 3 and the number of repetitions is 4.

`3 * 3 * 3 * 3=3^(4)`

Now, to express the number 36 as exponent, we just need to find a number which power results in 36, and that number is 6, which multiplied twice by itself gives 36 as result.

`36 = 6^(2)`
