Final answer:
The statement that '³ is an exponent' is true. It indicates that the expression (3m - 2n) should be multiplied by itself three times, and should not be confused with the multiplication of functions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question you asked about (3m - 2n) ³ Multiplying functions Section 1 Topic 2 Part D ³ refers to the exponentiation of a binomial expression. When you see a number or expression followed by a superscript number, in this case, the number 3 (³), that superscript number is referred to as an exponent. The statement '³ is an exponent' is true. Exponents indicate how many times the base, which is the entire expression in the parentheses (3m - 2n), is to be multiplied by itself.
To expand the binomial expression (3m - 2n) ³, one could use the binomial theorem but in this case it simply denotes that (3m - 2n) is to be multiplied by itself three times. It does not directly relate to the process of multiplying functions, which involves taking two separate functions and performing multiplication between them.
