Use multiplication to expand the expression below. Then compute and/or simplify.

Question

(4b) ^3

Answer 1

To expand the expression (4b)^3, we need to multiply (4b) three times.

(4b)^3 = (4b)(4b)(4b)

To simplify, we can multiply the coefficients and the variables separately.

(4b)(4b)(4b) = 4*4*4 * b*b*b

4*4*4 = 64

b*b*b = b^3

Therefore, (4b)^3 = 64b^3
