    3^6x = 8,100

    If 3^6x = 8,100, what is the value of 3^(x – 1)^3 ?


    A. 90
    B. 30
    C. 10
    D. 10/3
    E. 10/9

    3^(x-1)^3=3^(3x3)=(3^3x)/27=[SQRT(3^6x)]/27=[SQRT8100]/27=90/27=10/3

    D is it.

    ramiy,
    I guess, you have written the question wrongly. It should be [3^(x – 1)]^3 and not 3^(x – 1)^3.
    [3^(x – 1)]^3=3^(3x-3)
    3^6x=8100=> 3^3x=90
    So 3^(3x-3) = 90/(3^3) = 90/27 = 10/3 --- D

    Yeah, that's how interpreted it.
