Question

three balloons and three exponential expressions are shown on the screen. edit the code in the workspace value of the green distance, and the blue balloon the value of the blue distance.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the blue balloon's expression

The blue balloon should represent \(3^1\times3^2\). Using the exponent rule \(a^m\times a^n=a^{m + n}\), so \(3^1\times3^2 = 3^{1+2}=3^3\).

Step2: Modify the blue balloon's code

The current blue balloon's code is \(3^1\), we need to change the exponent from 1 to 3. So the correct code for the blue balloon should be \(3^3\) (i.e., in the code block for blue, change the last number from 1 to 3).

Answer:

For the blue balloon's driveDistance code, change the exponent part from \(3^1\) to \(3^3\) (modify the last number in the exponent block from 1 to 3).
