What is \(2^6 + 2^6 + 3^6 + 3^6 + 3^6\)?

A. 2^12 + 3^18
B. 4^6 + 9^9
C. 4^12 + 9^18
D. 2^7 + 3^7
E. 13^6

Pay close attention to the pattern

2^6 + 2^6 = 2(2)^6 =2^7
3^6 + 3^6 +3^6 = 3(3)^6 = 3^ 7 - same thing

2^7 +3^7

Thus
"D"

What is \(2^6 + 2^6 + 3^6 + 3^6 + 3^6\)?

A. 2^12 + 3^18
B. 4^6 + 9^9
C. 4^12 + 9^18
D. 2^7 + 3^7
E. 13^6

\(2^6 + 2^6 + 3^6 + 3^6 + 3^6\)

Or, \(2^6 ( 1 + 1 ) + 3^6 (1 + 1 + 1 )\)

Or, \(2^6 ( 2 ) + 3^6 (3 )\)

Or, \(2^7 + 3^7\)

Hence, answer will be (D)
