For a homework question, linda is asked to rewrite the expression (x3⋅x)2 ( x 3 ⋅ x ) 2 in the form xk. x k . linda claims that the value of k k is 9 9 since (3⋅1)2=32=9. ( 3 ⋅ 1 ) 2 = 3 2 = 9 . decide if linda is correct. if linda is correct, enter 9 below. if linda is not correct, enter the correct value of k. k .

k=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that given expression is

Now we need to rewrite that expression in form of .

To do that we need to simplify given problem .

x is same as

we can begin with inner parenthesis

Now compare that with , we get:

k=8

Which is different value that Linda got.

Hence answer of the Linda is wrong.
