I need help! i cant figure this one out

Answer 1

Hello there!

Answer:

81

Explanation:

We can use the special formula:

`a {}^(n) * a {}^(m) = a {}^(m + n)`

where a = 3, n = 5 and m = -1.

`3 {}^(5) * 3 {}^( - 1) = {3}^(5 - 1) = 3 {}^(4) = (3 {}^(2) ) {}^(2) = 9 {}^(2) = 81`

Answer 2

Explanation:

`3^5\cdot3^(-1)\\=(3^5)/(3)\\=\boxed{3^4}`
