3^6 x 3^-2 = 3^ (6-2) = 3^4

The numerical equivalent of 3^6 x 3^-2 is 81.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the numerical equivalent of 3^6 x 3^(-2), we can apply the rule of exponents which states that when multiplying two numbers with the same base, we add their exponents.

So, 3^6 x 3^(-2) is equal to 3^(6 + (-2)).

Simplifying the exponent expression, we get 3^4.

Therefore, the numerical equivalent of 3^6 x 3^(-2) is 3^4, which is equal to 81.

Answer 3

To find the numerical equivalent of 3^6 x 3^(-2), we can use the property of exponents that states a^m x a^n = a^(m+n).

In this case, we have 3^6 x 3^(-2). Using the property mentioned above, we can combine the exponents and rewrite the expression as 3^(6+(-2)).

Simplifying the exponent, 6 + (-2) equals 4. Therefore, 3^6 x 3^(-2) can be simplified to 3^4.

To calculate 3^4, we multiply 3 by itself four times.

3^4 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81.

Thus, the numerical equivalent of 3^6 x 3^(-2) is 81.
