Simplifying (3x²y)³
This expression involves raising a monomial to a power. To simplify, we'll use the following rules of exponents:
- (ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ (The power of a product is the product of the powers)
- (aⁿ)ᵐ = aⁿᵐ (A power raised to another power is the product of the exponents)
Let's break down the simplification step-by-step:
-
Apply the first rule: (3x²y)³ = 3³(x²)³y³
-
Apply the second rule: 3³(x²)³y³ = 27x⁶y³
Therefore, the simplified expression is 27x⁶y³
