Select all the expressions that are equivalent to (9^4)^6.

Solution

The given expression is (94)6\left( 9^4 \right)^6, and we need to determine which of the provided options are equivalent to this expression.

Let's start simplifying (94)6\left( 9^4 \right)^6:

Using the power of a power rule for exponents, (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}, we have:

(94)6=946=924\left( 9^4 \right)^6 = 9^{4 \cdot 6} = 9^{24}

Now, let's evaluate the given options:

  1. 3243243^{24} \cdot 3^{24}: Using the product of powers rule aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}, this becomes: 324324=324+24=3483^{24} \cdot 3^{24} = 3^{24 + 24} = 3^{48} But 3483^{48} is not equivalent to 9249^{24}.

  2. 9249^{24}: This is exactly the same as (94)6\left( 9^4 \right)^6, so it is correct.

  3. 1910\frac{1}{9^{10}}: This is not equivalent to 9249^{24} because it represents a smaller exponent with a reciprocal, so it is incorrect.

  4. (96)4(9^6)^4: Using the same power of a power rule: (96)4=964=924(9^6)^4 = 9^{6 \cdot 4} = 9^{24} This is equivalent to 9249^{24}, so it is correct.

Thus, the correct equivalent expressions are:

  • 9249^{24}
  • (96)4(9^6)^4

Do you have any questions or would you like more details?

  4. Is 123\frac{1}{2^3} equivalent to 232^{-3}?
  5. What is the general rule for multiplying powers of the same base?

Tip: Always check if powers can be simplified further using exponent rules like power of a power or product of powers.
