Simplifying (3a^2)^3
This expression involves simplifying a power of a product. Let's break it down step by step:
Understanding the Power of a Product Rule
The power of a product rule states that (ab)^n = a^n * b^n. This means we can distribute the exponent outside the parentheses to each factor inside.
Applying the Rule to (3a^2)^3
-
Distribute the exponent: (3a^2)^3 = 3^3 * (a^2)^3
-
Simplify the exponents: 3^3 = 27 and (a^2)^3 = a^(2*3) = a^6
-
Combine the results: 27 * a^6 = 27a^6
Therefore, the simplified form of (3a^2)^3 is 27a^6.
