Math Problem Statement

Which expression is equivalent to (2x)^3 × (2x)^2?

Solution

The expression given in the image is (2x)3×(2x)2(2x)^3 \times (2x)^2.

We can simplify this expression step by step:

Step 1: Apply the power rule

When raising a product to a power, each term inside the parentheses is raised to that power:

(2x)3=23x3=8x3(2x)^3 = 2^3 \cdot x^3 = 8x^3 (2x)2=22x2=4x2(2x)^2 = 2^2 \cdot x^2 = 4x^2

Step 2: Multiply the simplified expressions

Now multiply the two simplified expressions: 8x3×4x2=(8×4)(x3×x2)8x^3 \times 4x^2 = (8 \times 4) \cdot (x^3 \times x^2)

=32x3+2=32x5= 32 \cdot x^{3+2} = 32x^5

So, the expression (2x)3×(2x)2(2x)^3 \times (2x)^2 is equivalent to 32x532x^5.
