Step-by-step explanation

We must find the equivalent expressions to:


81^x.

We will rewrite each expression to check its equivalency.

A. Using the fact that 9 * 9 = 81, we have:


\lparen9\cdot9)^x=81^x\text{ \checkmark}

B. Using the distributive property for powers, we have:


9^x\cdot9^x=\lparen9\cdot9)^x=81^x\text{ \checkmark}

C. Taking into account point B, we see that:


9\cdot9^x\\e9^x\cdot9^x=81^x\text{ ^^^^2716}

D. Taking into account point B, we see that:


9^2\cdot9^x\\e9^x\cdot9^x=81^{x\text{ }}✖

E. Taking into account point B, we see that:


9\cdot9^(2x)=9\cdot9^x\cdot9^x\\e9^x\cdot9^x=81^x\text{ ^^^^2716}

F. Rewriting the expression, we see that:


9^(2x)=(9^2)^x=81^x\text{ \checkmark}Answer

The equivalent expressions are A, B and F.
