Answer:

Incorrect

Explanation:

Mandy is incorrect because 2^3 or 2 to the 3 is 2 x 2 x 2 which is 8, but 3^2 or 3 squared is 3 x 3 which is 9.

8 does not equal 9 so she is incorrect.

Answer:

No, she is incorrect.

Explanation:


2^(3) equals 8 and
3^(2) equals 9. Mandy probably multiplied the 2 and 3 by the exponent instead of by itself a number of times equal to the exponent. 2^3 is equivalent to 2*2*2, not 2*3. 3^2 is 3*3, not 3*2. Therefore she is incorrect because they are not equal.
