Math Problem Statement

simplify (-3x^3yz^2)(-3^3yz^3)^3

Solution

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

We are given:

(3x3yz2)(33yz3)3(-3x^3yz^2)(-3^3yz^3)^3

Step 1: Simplify the exponent part (33yz3)3(-3^3yz^3)^3

First, calculate (3)3(-3)^3:

(3)3=27(-3)^3 = -27

Now, the expression becomes:

(3x3yz2)(27(yz3)3)(-3x^3yz^2)(-27(yz^3)^3)

Step 2: Apply the power of a product rule to (yz3)3(yz^3)^3

(yz3)3=y3z9(yz^3)^3 = y^3z^9

So, we now have:

(3x3yz2)(27y3z9)(-3x^3yz^2)(-27y^3z^9)

Step 3: Combine the terms

Now, let's multiply the constants and combine like terms:

(3)(27)=81(-3)(-27) = 81

x3yy3=x3y4x^3y \cdot y^3 = x^3y^4

z2z9=z11z^2 \cdot z^9 = z^{11}

So the simplified expression is:

81x3y4z1181x^3y^4z^{11}

Final Answer:

81x3y4z1181x^3y^4z^{11}
