Answer:

  6²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the rule of exponents ...

  (a·b)^c = a^c·b^c

Your expression has a=3, b=2, c=2.

  3²·2² = (3·2)² = 6²

_____

If you want to get more sophisticated than that, logarithms can get involved.

  [tex]3^2\cdot 2^2=10^{2\log{(3)}+2\log{(2)}}\approx 10^{1.5563025}[/tex]
