Question

write the product in exponential notation.
a·a·a
a·a·a = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponential notation rule

Exponential notation for a product of the same base \(a\) multiplied \(n\) times is \(a^n\), where \(n\) is the number of times \(a\) is multiplied.

Step2: Count the number of \(a\)s

Here, \(a\) is multiplied 3 times (\(a\cdot a\cdot a\)). So using the rule, the base is \(a\) and the exponent is 3.

Answer:

\(a^3\)
