What is the value of ((3^2)^3)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 729
Using the power-of-a-power rule, \((a^m)^n=a^{mn}\). Therefore, \((3^2)^3=3^{2\times3}=3^6=729\). Hence, 729 is the correct answer. Note that 243 equals \(3^5\), so it is not correct. Exam tip: multiply the exponents when a power is raised to another power.
