Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(6u2)3
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power to a power rule.To simplify the expression (6u2)3, we need to apply the power to a power rule, which states that (am)n=am∗n. We will apply this rule to both the numerical coefficient and the variable with its exponent.(6u2)3=63×(u2)3
Calculate Cube of 6: Calculate the cube of 6. To find 63, we multiply 6 by itself three times. 63=6×6×6=216
Calculate Cube of u2: Calculate the cube of u2. To find (u2)3, we multiply the exponents according to the power to a power rule. (u2)3=u2∗3=u6
Combine Results: Combine the results.Now we combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to get the final simplified expression.(6u2)3=216×u6
