Can you help a brainlet out /sci/?
>express each expression in simplified exponential form.
3^2(2ab)^3(16a^2b^5)(24b^2a)
My answer is 24^1 2^6 3^2 a^6 b^10
Book answer is 2^10 3^3 a^6 b^10
I've got the algebraic latters right but i'm doing something wrong with 24, 2 and 3 exponentiated can't reach 24
>2^3=16
>2^4=32
>3^2=9
>3^3=27
Please halp, what is it i'm not getting? It seems there is no exponential way to show 24, not with integers at least.
