Emma 6^2x6^5=36^7
Erin 6^2x6^5=6^10
Eden 6^2x6^5+6^7
Emma, Erin, and Eden completed the problem to the right.
a. Who completed the problem correctly?
b. What did the other two students do wrong in their answers?
a. Erin completed the problem correctly.
b. Emma simplified 6^2x6^5 to 36^7, but the correct simplification is 6^7. Eden added an extra term of 6^7 to the expression, which is incorrect.
a. Erin completed the problem correctly.
b. In Emma's answer, she multiplied the exponents incorrectly. When multiplying exponential expressions with the same base, you need to add the exponents. So, the correct answer would be 6^(2+5) = 6^7, not 36^7.
In Eden's answer, it seems that she added an additional term, 6^7, which is not part of the original expression. The correct answer would simply be 6^2 * 6^5.
