when you multiply two numbers with the same base,now you can add their exponents and any number raised to the power of zero = one so we can write the experssion as:3 power -5 times 3 power 6 =3 power -5+6 =3 power 1 =3

Answer:

When multiplying two numbers with the same base, you can add their exponents. Also, any number raised to the power of zero equals one. Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as:3⁻⁵ × 3⁶ = 3⁻⁵+⁶ = 3¹ = 3So, the expression 3 –5 × 3 6, when simplified using a single exponent, is equal to 3¹, which is just 3.
