Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 3^(2x) * 3^(x+1)?
  • Step 1: Identify the base of the expressions. Here, the base is 3.
  • Step 2: Recognize that we have two expressions being multiplied: 3^(2x) and 3^(x+1).
  • Step 3: Use the property of exponents that states when you multiply two expressions with the same base, you can add their exponents.
  • Step 4: Write down the exponents: the first exponent is 2x and the second exponent is (x + 1).
  • Step 5: Add the exponents together: 2x + (x + 1).
  • Step 6: Simplify the addition: 2x + x + 1 = 3x + 1.
  • Step 7: Write the final expression using the combined exponent: 3^(3x + 1).
