simplify (-2x^2)^3

Solution

simplify

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

Solution

- 8 x^{6}

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

if

n

is odd

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

2^{3} = 8

= - 8 (x^{2})^{3}

Apply exponent rule:

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

assuming

a \geq 0

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

= - 8 x^{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= - 8 x^{6}
