Q. Which exponential expression is equivalent to (3t)2 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) t2t3(B) t3t2(C) t23(D) t32
Express Cube Root in Exponential Form: We need to express the cube root of t2 in exponential form. The cube root of t can be written as t raised to the power of 31. Therefore, 3t can be written as t31.
Apply Power of a Power Rule: Now we need to apply the power of a power rule, which states that (am)n=am∗n. In this case, we have (t31)2, which means we multiply the exponents: 31∗2.
Multiply Exponents: Multiplying the exponents gives us t(1/3⋅2)=t2/3. This is the simplified exponential form of the original expression.
Compare with Choices: Comparing our result with the given choices, we find that t32 matches choice (D).
