Emma erin and eden completed the problem to the right.
Emma 6^2 * 6^5 = 36^7
Erin 6^2 * 6^5 = 6^10
eden 6^2 * 6^5 = 6^7
a. who completed the problem correctly
b. what did the other two students do wrong in their answers
a. Eden completed the problem correctly.
b. Emma incorrectly multiplied the exponents instead of adding them. Erin also multiplied the exponents instead of adding them and made an error in simplifying the expression by incorrectly adding the exponents.
only 1 person can be correct the other 2 are wrong
Emma is wrong.
6^2 * 6^5 = 6^(2+5) = 6^7
Eden is the only correct one
x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)
The base does not change.
2^3 * 2^4 = 8*16 = 127 = 2^7
NOT 4^7 = 16384
