quick question.
what is 27 written as a power of 3?
What is three cubed?
so does it mean write it with a base of 3 or with an exponent of 3?
33=27
To express 27 as a power of 3, you need to determine the exponent that will result in 27 when 3 is raised to that exponent. In this case, since 3 raised to the power of 3 equals 27, you can say that 27 is written as 3 raised to the power of 3, or 3^3.
If you encounter similar questions in the future, where you need to express a number as a power of another number, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the base number (the number being raised to a power).
2. Determine the exponent needed to obtain the desired number.
3. Express the number as the base raised to that exponent.
Remember that exponents indicate how many times the base number is multiplied by itself. For example, in 3^3, the base number 3 is multiplied by itself three times.
