Write the following exponents in expanded form a) 5² b) 6⁸ c) 9⁵

a- 5 x 5

b- 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6

c- 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9

Step-by-step explanation:

the index represents how many times the number is to be multiplied.

5² = 5 x 5 = 25

6⁸ = 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = 1679616

9⁵ = 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 59049

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,
