Math Problem Statement

Express \( (3^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} \) in simplest radical form.

Solution

The question in the image asks you to express (32)32(3^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} in its simplest radical form.

Let's break it down:

  1. Start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses: 32=93^2 = 9

  2. Now, the expression becomes: 9329^{\frac{3}{2}}

  3. The exponent 32\frac{3}{2} can be interpreted as: 932=(912)39^{\frac{3}{2}} = \left(9^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^3

  4. 9129^{\frac{1}{2}} is the square root of 9, which is 3: 912=9=39^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{9} = 3

  5. Now, raise 3 to the power of 3: 33=273^3 = 27

So, (32)32(3^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} in its simplest radical form is 27.
