Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(2z3)3
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to (2z3)3. The power of a power rule states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. For a term (ab)n, where a is a coefficient and b is a variable with an exponent, the rule is applied to both the coefficient and the variable separately. (2z3)3=23×(z3)3
Calculate 23: Calculate 23.23=2×2×2=8
Calculate (z3)3: Calculate (z3)3.(z3)3=z(3∗3)=z9
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.From Step 2, we have 23=8, and from Step 3, we have (z3)3=z9. Combining these gives us the final simplified expression:(2z3)3=8z9
