Math Problem Statement

Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 3 × 3^5.

Solution

The question asks you to select all expressions that are equivalent to 3×353 \times 3^5.

We can start by simplifying 3×353 \times 3^5 using the property of exponents, am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}. Here, we have:

3×35=31×35=31+5=363 \times 3^5 = 3^1 \times 3^5 = 3^{1+5} = 3^6

Now, let's analyze the options to see which ones are equivalent to 363^6:

  1. 136\frac{1}{3^6}: This is equivalent to 363^{-6}, which is not equal to 363^6.
  2. 126÷4612^6 \div 4^6: This can be simplified as (124)6=36\left(\frac{12}{4}\right)^6 = 3^6, which is indeed equal to 363^6.
  3. (31)4(3^1)^4: Simplifies to 31×4=343^{1 \times 4} = 3^4, which is not equal to 363^6.
  4. 133\frac{1}{3^3}: This is equivalent to 333^{-3}, which is not equal to 363^6.

From this analysis, the correct expressions equivalent to 363^6 are:

  • 126÷4612^6 \div 4^6

It seems you've selected all options except for (31)4(3^1)^4, which is correct because that option does not equal 363^6.
