Expanding (3b)^3 Without Exponents
The expression (3b)^3 represents the product of (3b) multiplied by itself three times. Here's how we can expand it without using exponents:
(3b)^3 = (3b) * (3b) * (3b)
To expand this, we simply multiply each term within the parentheses:
Step 1: Multiply the first two terms (3b) * (3b) = 3 * 3 * b * b = 9b^2
Step 2: Multiply the result by the third term 9b^2 * (3b) = 9 * 3 * b^2 * b = 27b^3
Therefore, the expanded form of (3b)^3 without exponents is 27b^3.
