Answer:

3^14

Explanation:

Multiplication of two values with same base and different exponent:

When we are multiplicating two values with the same base and different exponents, we keep the base and add the exponents. For example:


x^a\ast x^b=x^(a+b)

In this question:


3^9\ast3^5=3^(9+5)=3^(14)
