Simplifying (3x^2y^3)^3
This expression involves simplifying a term raised to a power. We'll use the rules of exponents to solve this problem.
Understanding the Rules
- Power of a product: (ab)^n = a^n * b^n
- Power of a power: (a^m)^n = a^(m*n)
Simplifying the Expression
-
Apply the power of a product rule: (3x^2y^3)^3 = 3^3 * (x^2)^3 * (y^3)^3
-
Apply the power of a power rule: 3^3 * (x^2)^3 * (y^3)^3 = 27 * x^(23) * y^(33)
-
Simplify: 27 * x^(23) * y^(33) = 27x^6y^9
Therefore, the simplified form of (3x^2y^3)^3 is 27x^6y^9.
