is that right? if not what is the answer and how did u get that?

Answer 1

( -6a^3 b^3 ) ^2 ( a^4 b^5 ) ^3 *Multiply the exponents and -6^3

(-36a^6 b^6 )(a^12b^15) * add exponents together with the same base.

-36a^18 b^21 *Answer!

Answer 2

close
(-6)^2 = 36 not 6
so
36 a^18 b^21

Note: To check your work try plugging in
a=2 and b=2
into both equations, original and final format,
to see if you get the same values.
This will help you catch major math or sign errors.
