Question

Write (2p^2)^3 without exponents.(2p^2)^3 = ??

Answer 1

We are required to write the expression:

`(2p^2)^3`

Without exponents. First, we operate the parentheses:

`(2p^2)^3=2^3(p^2)^3=2^3p^6`

This is the simplified expression. If we wanted to avoid the exponents, then we have to express the exponents as products:

`2^3p^6=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p`

This is the required expression
