The expression X^3 x X^3 x X^3 is not equivalent to X^3x3x3
because the powers are to be added and not multiplied.
Multiplying indices is to multiply terms involving indices or powers.
There are two methods used to multiply terms involving indices:
For same bases, we solve thus:
a² × a³ = a ^ 2 + 3
In such case we write the base and add their powers
For different bases:
2² × 3³ = 4 × 27 = 108
For the expression given, we have:
X^3 x X^3 x X^3 = x^ 3+ 3+ 3+ 3
Thus, the expression X^3 x X^3 x X^3 is not equivalent to X^3x3x3
because the powers are to be added and not multiplied.
