Luther evaluated 23 as 9 and Wade evaluated 32 as 9. Are both students correct? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

No, only Wade is correct. Luther evaluated 2 to the third power, which is 2 * 2 * 2 8, not 9. Wade evaluated 3 to the second power, which is 3 * 3 9. Luther likely switched the base and exponent, calculating 3 to the second power instead of 2 to the third power.
