Question

List three ways to express 3 to the 5th power as a product of powers

Answer 1

3 to the power of 5  is 243. Here are some ways to show 3 to the 5th power which has a product of 243.


First, we will multiply 3 five times: 3 x  3 x  3 x 3 x 3 = 243
Second, we will write the expression as : 3 ^ 5 = 243  ( ^  is read as raised to the power )
Third, we will have it this way : 3^2 x 3 ^3
where: 
(3 x 3) x (3 x 3 x 3)
  9 x 27, the product is equals to 243.
