Question

Explain how to evaluate 34.

Answer 1

Sample response: Three to the fourth means multiply 3 together 4 times, so expanded form is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3. To evaluate the power, find the product of the factors in expanded form. 3 times 3 is 9, 9 times 3 is 27, and 27 times 3 is 81.

Answer 2

`{3}^(4) = 81`

Explanation:

We want to evaluate

`{3}^(4)`

We have a power to evaluate.

The base is 3

The exponent is 4.

What this means it's to multiply the base by itself four times

`{3}^(4) = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3`

`{3}^(4) = 9 * 9 = 81`

In general, if you have aⁿ , you multiply 'a' by itself n-times.
