Question

( −2 x^3) ^ 3 simplify

Answer 1

Your answer is -8x^9

Answer 2

`-8x^9`

Explanation:

We can split up the exponent into multiple products:
`(-2x^3)^3=(-2)^3*(x^3)^3`.

We know that
`(-2)^3=(-2)*(-2)*(-2)=-1*-1*-1*2*2*2=-1*8=-8`.

We also know that
`(x^3)^3=x^(3*3)=x^9`.

So, our answer is
`\boxed{-8x^9}` and we're done!
