  1. Sophia's factorization: Sophia's factorization of 81y681y^{6} is (9y3)(9y2)(9y^{3})(9y^{2}). Let's check if this is correct by multiplying the factors together.\newline(9y3)(9y2)=81y3+2=81y5(9y^{3})(9y^{2}) = 81y^{3+2} = 81y^{5}
  2. Checking Sophia's factorization: Ahmed's factorization of 81y681y^{6} is (3y6)(27y)(3y^{6})(27y). Let's check if this is correct by multiplying the factors together.\newline(3y6)(27y)=81y6+1=81y7(3y^{6})(27y) = 81y^{6+1} = 81y^{7}
