simplify (-2p^3)^2

Solution

simplify

(- 2 p^{3})^{2}

Solution

4 p^{6}

Solution steps

(- 2 p^{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

(- 2 p^{3})^{2} = (2 p^{3})^{2}

= (2 p^{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

(2 p^{3})^{2} = 2^{2} (p^{3})^{2}

= 2^{2} (p^{3})^{2}

2^{2} = 4

= 4 (p^{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c},

assuming

a \geq 0

(p^{3})^{2} = p^{3 \cdot 2}

= 4 p^{3 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= 4 p^{6}
