How did u get the 512a square 9
Answer provided by our tutors
2^9 is simplified to 512 since "2 raised to the 9th" is equal to 512
a^9 can not be simplified so it remains a^9
512 is the coefficient for a variable, hence the solver reports the numeric value first but mathematically "512a^9" is equivalent to "a^9(512)".
