Answer:

9^5

Explanation:

the number you're multiplying stays the same and you add your powers I believe.

Answer:


\boxed {\tt 9^(5)}

Explanation:

When multiplying exponents, the base stays the same and the exponents are added.


a^x*a^y=a^(x+y)

We are given the expression:


9^2*9^3

The base is 9, and it will stay the same. The exponents, 2 and 3, must be added.

  • Exponents: 2, 3
  • Add them: 2+3=5


9^(2+3)


9^5

The answer to 9²*9³ is 9⁵
