Answer:
a) [tex]2^{4}[/tex]
b) [tex]5^{3}[/tex] x [tex]7^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
You can group together like base values, so 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 becomes 3 to the power of 5. All it means is that you are multiplying the base value (in this case 3) by itself 5 times.
Index notation makes it easier in more complex equations to solve, as its simpler and doesn't take up as much space.
Hope this helped : )
