An explanation on what I need to do and why I do it would be helpful to solve problems like 9^2x, base 3. Thank you! \n" ); document.write( "
| Algebra.Com's Answer #703808 by addingup(3677)     You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9^(2x), base 3 \n" ); document.write( "How can you write 9 with a base 3? Well, 3 x 3 = 9. So we can write it as: \n" ); document.write( "3^2 = 9 \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Then let's rewrite your problem: \n" ); document.write( "9^2x, base 3 = 3^2^(2x) \n" ); document.write( "Now, the Power Rule says that to raise a power to a power you need to multiply the exponents. Let's do that: \n" ); document.write( "3^2^(2x) = 3^(4x) We're done, this is your answer. \n" ); document.write( "Happy learning \n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " |
