Apply Power of Power Rule: We have the expression (3xy3)2. To simplify, we will apply the power of a power rule, which states that (am)n=am∗n for any real number a and integersm and n. In this case, we will distribute the exponent of 2 to both the coefficient 3 and the variable term xy3.
Simplify Coefficient: First, we raise the coefficient 3 to the power of 2: (32)=9.
Simplify Variable Term: Next, we raise the variable term xy3 to the power of 2. This means we multiply the exponents of y by 2, while x, which has an implied exponent of 1, will also be squared: (x1⋅y3)2=x1⋅2⋅y3⋅2=x2⋅y6.
Combine Results: Now, we combine the results from the previous steps to get the fully simplified expression: 9×x2×y6.
