Answer:
(see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
12³ × 11³ is NOT equivalent to (12 × 11)[tex]^{3(3)}[/tex] because:
1) 12³ and 11³ don't have the same bases. They have to both have a base of 11 or of 12.
2) 12³ × 11³ and (12 × 11)[tex]^{3(3)}[/tex] are different because (12 × 11)[tex]^{3(3)}[/tex] is a whole different number altogether. Here's why:
12³ × 11³ = 1728 × 1331
= 2,299,968
(12 × 11)[tex]^{3(3)}[/tex] = [tex](132)^{9}[/tex]
= 1.216649217 × [tex]10^{19}[/tex]
However, (12 × 11)³ would be equivalent to 12³ × 11³.
(12 × 11)³ = (132)³
= 2,299,968
