Question

3^2 • 3^-8 • 3^0
i need help with this asap

Answer 1

3^-6 which equals 1/3^6

Explanation:

all you do is add the exponents.

3^0 is equal to 0 so that one doesn't matter, you just cross it out.

now you're left with 3^2x3^-8

so add 2+(-8) which is -6 so the answer is: 3^-6

since the exponent is negative, you put a 1 above the problem, making it a fraction: 1/3^-6

Answer 2

Steps to solve:

3^2 • 3^-8 • 3^0

~Apple exponent rule [ a^b * a^c = a^b+c ]

3^2-8+0

~Simplify

3^-6

~Use exponent rule [ a^-b = 1/a^b ]

1/3^6

~Simplify

1/729

Best of Luck!
