How to write this in expanded

(X^2)^3

7 answers

To expand \((X^2)^3\), you can use the power of a power property, which states that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).

Applying this property:

\[ (X^2)^3 = X^{2 \cdot 3} = X^6 \]

So, the expanded form of \((X^2)^3\) is \(X^6\).

Could u show without the extra symbols

Certainly! To expand \((X^2)^3\):

  1. Start with \((X^2)^3\).
  2. You multiply the exponents: \(2 \times 3 = 6\).
  3. So, \((X^2)^3\) becomes \(X^6\).

The final result is \(X^6\).

So the expanded form is
(X*x*x)(2*3)?

Let’s clarify the steps in a simpler way without symbols that might confuse.

When we start with \((X^2)^3\):

  1. Break down \(X^2\): This means \(X \times X\).
  2. Now raise it to the power of \(3\): This means you take \(X \times X\) and repeat it 3 times, like this:
    • First \(X^2\): \(X \times X\)
    • Second \(X^2\): \(X \times X\)
    • Third \(X^2\): \(X \times X\)

Now, it looks like this:

\[ (X \times X) \times (X \times X) \times (X \times X) \]

  1. Count the total number of \(X\)s: You have \(3\) groups of \(2\) \(X\)s, which gives you \(3 \times 2 = 6\) \(X\)s.

So you can rewrite it as:

\[ X \times X \times X \times X \times X \times X \]

  1. This simplifies to:
    • \(X^6\)

Thus, the expanded form of \((X^2)^3\) without using complex symbols is just \(X\) multiplied by itself six times, or simply \(X^6\).

Oh ok gotcha
