Advanced Math practice question
Which of the following is equivalent to (3x²y)²?
- A. 9x⁴y²Correct
- B. 6x⁴y²
- C. 9x²y²
- D. 3x⁴y²
Answer: A. 9x⁴y²
Square each factor: 3² = 9, (x²)² = x⁴, y² = y².
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 6x⁴y²
- 3 squared is 9, not 6.
- C. 9x²y²
- (x²)² is x⁴, not x².
- D. 3x⁴y²
- The 3 must be squared too.
