Identify base and exponent: Identify the base and the exponent in (−6x3y2)2.In (−6x3y2)2,Base: −6x3y2Exponent: 2
Apply power of product rule: Apply the power of a product rule, which states that (ab)n=an×bn, to the base and the exponent. (−6x3y2)2=(−6)2×(x3)2×(y2)2
Calculate each part: Calculate each part separately.(−6)2=36(x3)2=x(3∗2)=x6(y2)2=y(2∗2)=y4
Multiply results together: Multiply the results together to get the final simplified expression. 36×x6×y4
