Explain how I would rewrite 3^5 * 3^-4 as a base an exponent

3^1 or 3

3^5 * 3^-4 are 3^5-4

so, 3^1!

Hope it helps!

3^1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bases are the same and we are multiplying we can add the exponents

a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)

3^5 * 3^-4

3^ (5+-4)

3^1

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)
