-2ab *-2ab *-2ab

Question

In condense form and answer

Answer 1

To condense the expression \(-2ab \times -2ab \times -2ab\), you first multiply the coefficients and then the variables:

1. Multiply the coefficients: \(-2 \times -2 \times -2 = 4 \times -2 = -8\)
2. Multiply the variables: \(a^1 \times a^1 \times a^1 = a^{1+1+1} = a^3\) and \(b^1 \times b^1 \times b^1 = b^{1+1+1} = b^3\)

Putting it all together, the condensed form is:

\[ -8a^3b^3 \]
