Exponents and Roots Quiz

Answer explanation

To simplify the expression \(3^2 \times 3^3\), use the property of exponents that states \(a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}\). Thus, \(3^2 \times 3^3 = 3^{2+3} = 3^5\). The correct answer is \(3^5\).

Answer explanation

To solve for x in the equation x^2 = 49, take the square root of both sides. This gives x = ±7. Since 7 is one of the answer choices, the correct answer is 7.

Answer explanation

To simplify (2^3)^2, use the power of a power rule: (a^m)^n = a^(m*n). Here, 2^(3*2) = 2^6. However, we need to calculate 2^3 first, which is 8, and then square it: 8^2 = 64, which is 2^8.
