Question

The length of one day on Venus is 3^5 Earth days. Express the exponent as a product. Then find the value of the product.

Answer 1

We are given the following exponent:

$3^5$

Since the exponent represents the number of times the base number repeats itself in a product, this can be written as:

$3^5=3\times3\times3\times3\times3$

Solving the product we get:

$3\times3\times3\times3\times3=243$
