Jackson was rewriting some exponential expressions. He claims that 34 2³ is equivalent to 67 since "all you have to do

is multiply the bases and add the exponents". Is Jackson's reasoning correct? If not, how would you to explain to
Jackson that his reasoning is incorrect?

Answer:No, he is not correct. You multiply the base of the number by itself the number of times the value of the exponent says. For example, 8^2 is 64 because it is 8 x 8. You are multiplying the base by itself twice.
