Math Problem Statement

(4b^2c)^3

Solution

To simplify the expression (4b2c)3(4b^2c)^3, apply the power of a product rule, which states (abc)n=anbncn(abc)^n = a^n b^n c^n.

  1. First, apply the cube (power of 3) to each factor inside the parentheses: (4b2c)3=43(b2)3c3(4b^2c)^3 = 4^3 \cdot (b^2)^3 \cdot c^3

  2. Now calculate each power separately:

  • 43=644^3 = 64
  • (b2)3=b2×3=b6(b^2)^3 = b^{2 \times 3} = b^6
  • c3=c3c^3 = c^3
  1. Combine these results: (4b2c)3=64b6c3(4b^2c)^3 = 64b^6c^3

So, the simplified expression is: 64b6c364b^6c^3
