Samantha says that (6^4)^–3 = 6. Show how to solve using the rules of exponents and then explain whether or not Samantha’s answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first you would refer to the index laws which state that you multiply indexes that are separated by a bracket.

So we would multiply 4 with -3

So The answer would be

Which does not equal 6 so Samantha is wrong. Samantha's mistake was adding the two indexes rather than multiplying them.

30

idk

i hope i

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
