Question 3 (Multiple Choice, Worth 1 point)
(03.01 LC)

What is [tex]$3^{\frac{3}{2}}$[/tex] equal to?

A. [tex]$\sqrt[3]{9}$[/tex]
B. [tex][tex]$\sqrt[2]{9}$[/tex][/tex]
C. [tex]$\sqrt[3]{27}$[/tex]
D. [tex]$\sqrt[2]{27}$[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which expression is equal to [tex]\(3^{\frac{3}{2}}\)[/tex], let’s evaluate [tex]\(3^{\frac{3}{2}}\)[/tex] step by step.

First, recognize that [tex]\(3^{\frac{3}{2}}\)[/tex] can be interpreted as the square root of [tex]\(3^3\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 3^{\frac{3}{2}} = \left(3^3\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} \][/tex]

Calculate [tex]\(3^3\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 3^3 = 27 \][/tex]

Now take the square root of 27:

[tex]\[ \left(3^3\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{27} \][/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\(3^{\frac{3}{2}} = \sqrt{27}\)[/tex].

The correct answer is:

[tex]\(\sqrt[2]{27}\)[/tex]
