Determine whether 7^2m · 6^2m is equivalent to each of the following expressions:
42^6m
42^m
42^9m

Answer:
Not equivalent to any of the options
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
7^2m * 6^2m
Since, they both have different bases, multiply the bases and add the powers
7^2m * 6^2m
= (7 * 6)^(2m + 2m)
= 42^4m
Therefore,
7^2m * 6^2m is equivalent to 42^4m
A. 42^6m
Not equivalent
B. 42^m
Not equivalent
C. 42^9m
Not equivalent
