Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(6w2)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.(6w2)3=63×(w2)3
Calculate Coefficient Cube: Calculate the cube of the coefficient 6. 63=6×6×6=216
Multiply Exponents: Multiply the exponents for the variable w.(w2)3=w(2×3)=w6
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to write the final simplified expression.(6w2)3=216×w6=216w6
