Question

Simplify 3^4 x 3^6 x 3^-6, leaving your answer in the form a^n where 'a' is a whole number.

Answer 1

${3}^{4} \times {3}^{6} \times {3}^{ - 6} \\ = {3}^{4 + 6 + ( - 6)} \\ = {3}^{4 + 6 - 6} \\ = {3}^{4}$
The answer is 3^4

Answer 2

3^4 * 3^6 * 3^-6= 81. There is no exponent. It is just a whole number.

or it can be written

81 * 729 * 1/729 = 81
