Step-by-step solution

To solve the problem 911×711×611=  9^{11}\times7^{11}\times6^{11}=\text{ } , we will apply the power of a product rule.

Step 1: Identify the expression and common exponent
The expression given is 911×711×611 9^{11} \times 7^{11} \times 6^{11} . Notice that all three terms share the common exponent 11.

Step 2: Apply the Power of a Product rule
According to the power of a product rule, where you have multiple terms each raised to the same power, you can rewrite the expression as a single product raised to that common power. This means:

(9×7×6)11 (9 \times 7 \times 6)^{11}

This expression consolidates the original terms under a single exponent.

Step 3: Verify the form of the solution
The choices provided show the expression in a generalized form without calculating the product. Hence, the expression can be represented as:

(9×7×6)11 (9 \times 7 \times 6)^{11} or (6×7×9)11 (6 \times 7 \times 9)^{11} or (7×6×9)11 (7 \times 6 \times 9)^{11}

Conclusion:
Therefore, any of the options where the bases are multiplied together under the common exponent 11 correctly represent the simplified expression. Thus, the answer is "All of the above".

Final Answer

All of the above

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Product Power Rule: When bases have same exponents, combine them first
  • Technique: an×bn=(a×b)n a^n \times b^n = (a \times b)^n like 911×711=(9×7)11 9^{11} \times 7^{11} = (9 \times 7)^{11}
  • Check: All multiplication orders give same result: (9×7×6)11=(6×7×9)11 (9 \times 7 \times 6)^{11} = (6 \times 7 \times 9)^{11}

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Adding exponents instead of combining bases
    Don't write 911×711×611=(9×7×6)33 9^{11} \times 7^{11} \times 6^{11} = (9 \times 7 \times 6)^{33} ! Adding exponents only works when bases are the same. Always keep the common exponent unchanged and combine only the different bases.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why can I rearrange the order of multiplication inside the parentheses?

+

Because of the commutative property of multiplication! 9×7×6 9 \times 7 \times 6 equals 6×7×9 6 \times 7 \times 9 and 7×6×9 7 \times 6 \times 9 . The order doesn't matter when multiplying.

What if the exponents were different numbers?

+

Then you cannot use the product power rule! For example, 911×710 9^{11} \times 7^{10} cannot be simplified to (9×7)something (9 \times 7)^{something} . The exponents must be exactly the same.

Do I need to calculate what 9 × 7 × 6 equals?

+

Not necessarily! The question asks for the equivalent expression, not the numerical value. Leaving it as (9×7×6)11 (9 \times 7 \times 6)^{11} is perfectly acceptable unless specifically asked to calculate.

Can this rule work with more than three terms?

+

Absolutely! The rule works with any number of terms: an×bn×cn×dn=(a×b×c×d)n a^n \times b^n \times c^n \times d^n = (a \times b \times c \times d)^n . As long as all exponents are identical, you can combine all the bases.

What's the difference between this and the power of a power rule?

+

Power of a power rule is (am)n=amn (a^m)^n = a^{mn} where you multiply exponents. Product power rule is an×bn=(ab)n a^n \times b^n = (ab)^n where you combine bases and keep the same exponent.
