Solve for 5 X 3 to the nth,.
my answer is 15, 45, 135, 405
nothing to "solve", you don't have an equation.
did you mean:
evaluate 5(3^n) for n = 1,2,3, ...
then you would get
5(3) , 5(9), 5(27), 5(81) ..
= 15, 45, 135, 405,
looks like that is what you are doing, if so,
you are correct.
It was what I was doing. Thank you

To solve for 5 multiplied by 3 to the nth power, you need to know the value of n. Once you have the value of n, you can simply substitute it into the expression and calculate the result.
For example, if n is equal to 1, then the expression becomes 5 multiplied by 3 to the 1st power. Since any number (except zero) raised to the power of 1 equals itself, the expression simplifies to 5 multiplied by 3, which is equal to 15.
If n is equal to 2, the expression becomes 5 multiplied by 3 to the 2nd power. This means you multiply 3 by itself, resulting in 9, and then multiply that by 5, which gives you 45.
Similarly, if n is equal to 3, the expression becomes 5 multiplied by 3 to the 3rd power. This means you multiply 3 by itself twice, resulting in 27, and then multiply that by 5, which gives you 135.
Finally, if n is equal to 4, the expression becomes 5 multiplied by 3 to the 4th power. This means you multiply 3 by itself three times, resulting in 81, and then multiply that by 5, which gives you 405.
Therefore, the values you listed (15, 45, 135, 405) are correct, but each corresponds to a specific value of n.
