Answer: 3^9

This is the same as writing
3^9

====================================================

How to get that answer:

The lowest height is 3^8, and the highest point is 3 times that value.

We can think of that second "3" as really 3^1. This is because x^1 = x for any real number.

Multiply 3^8 and 3^1 using the rule that a^b*a^c = a^(b+c). We add the exponents together.

Therefore, 3^8*3^1 = 3^(8+1) = 3^9

Side notes:

  • 3^8 = 6,561
  • 3^9 = 19,683
