Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(6q2)3
Apply Power Separately: Apply the power to both the coefficient and the variable separately.When raising a power to a power, we multiply the exponents, and when raising a coefficient to a power, we simply calculate the power of the number.(6q2)3=63×(q2)3
Calculate Coefficient Power: Calculate the power of the coefficient 63. 63=6×6×6=216
Calculate Variable Power: Calculate the power of the variable (q2)3. When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents. (q2)3=q(2×3)=q6
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to write the expression in simplest form.(6q2)3=63×(q2)3=216×q6=216q6
