Simplifying (3x2)3(3x^2)^3

Simplify (3x2)3(3x^2)^3. Apply the Product to a Power Property to distribute the exponent 33 to each factor inside the parentheses: (3x2)3=33(x2)3(3x^2)^3 = 3^3 \cdot (x^2)^3. Evaluate the numerical power 33=273^3 = 27. Then, apply the Power Property to multiply the exponents on the variable: (x2)3=x23=x6(x^2)^3 = x^{2 \cdot 3} = x^6. Combining these gives the simplified result 27x627x^6.
