Expanding (3y^3)^2 Without Exponents
The expression (3y^3)^2 involves exponents, but we can expand it to eliminate them. Let's break down the process:
Understanding Exponents
Firstly, remember that an exponent signifies repeated multiplication. In this case, the exponent 2 means we multiply the base (3y^3) by itself twice:
(3y^3)^2 = (3y^3) * (3y^3)
Expanding the Expression
Now, let's expand the expression by multiplying each term:
- 3 * 3 = 9
- y^3 * y^3 = y^6 (remember that when multiplying exponents with the same base, you add the powers).
Final Result
Therefore, (3y^3)^2 without exponents is 9y^6.
