I have 38274938 apples. I was robbed yesterday and I lost 38474 apples. How many apples do I have left

Nesterboy [21]

Taking 38274938 to be the initial value of the number of apples we have
Now we have to subtract 38474 as we lost these apples

If f(x) = 9^x , them prove that : f(m+n+p) = f(m) × f(n) × f(p) .

blondinia [14]

Answer:

f(m+n+p) = 9^(m+n+p)

so the second property explains why it's a + instead of ×
