Question: A factory produces 5⁴ widgets on the first day. Each day after, the factory triples the production. How many widgets are produced by the end of the third day?
(1) 5⁴ × 3²
(2) 5⁴ + 3³
(3) 5⁴ × 3³
(4) 5⁴ + 5⁴ + 5⁴
Solution:
First day: 5⁴ widgets.
Second day: 5⁴ × 3 widgets.
Third day: 5⁴ × 3 × 3 = 5⁴ × 3²
Thus, the total widgets produced by the third day is 5⁴ × 3².
