Question

The number $(3^2)^4$ is equal to the $4$th power of a number other than $3^2$. Find that number.

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

We can make (3^2)^4 into 9^4.

since the 4th power is always equal to the 4th power of its negation (that is, $a^4=(-a)^4), we know that (-9)^4 is equal to (3^2)^4 as well. So we know our answer is -9

hope this helps :)
