a. 3⁴

Explanation:

Step1: Understand exponentiation

Exponentiation means multiplying the base by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent. For \(3^4\), the base is 3 and the exponent is 4.

Step2: Calculate \(3^4\)

\(3^4 = 3\times3\times3\times3\)
First, \(3\times3 = 9\), then \(9\times3 = 27\), and finally \(27\times3 = 81\).

Answer:

\(81\)
