Explain how to use properties of powers to simplify the expression $27 • 3^{2} .$

Open in App

Solution

Given expression as $27 • 3^{2}$ ^,
First we write $27$ as power of $3$ , so $27 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 3^{3}$ .
Now, $27 • 3^{2} = 3^{3} • 3^{2}$ (Using exponent law $a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ )
$= 3^{3 + 2}$
$= 3^{5}$
