How would you simplify this?

Question

(2x squared) cubed

Or

(2x^2) ^3 If you could show the layers it'd be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

well, the rule is that you add exponents, correct?
so you do this:

(2x^2)(2x^2)=(4x^4) then
(4x^4)(2x^2)=8x^6

Answer 2

Think about it logically.
(2²)³
In the bracket first...
2 x 2 = 4
Therefore its (4)³... which means 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
So the answer is 64
The rule you can use is that you multiply the powers. I.e. multiply the 2 power and 3 power, to get the power of 6.
So it works out to be 2^6, which is 64.
Overall... your answer 2^6, which is written as a big 2 with the little 6 in the top right of it.

Answer 3

(2x^2)^3= 2x^2 x 2x^2 x 2x^2= 8x^6 when you multiply you do it like this 2x2x2=8 but you add exponents when multiplying thus 2X^2 ^3= 8x^6

Answer 4

(2x^2) ^3

2*x*x*2*x*x*2*x*x*

8(x^6)

Answer 5

2x^6 multipy the exponents when they are raising another exponent.
