Question

simplification of the expression (6x^2y)^2(y^2)^3

Answer 1

36x^4y^8

Answer 2

Multiply 2 by 2 to get 4.
6^(2)x^(4)y^(2) (y^(2))^(3)

Squaring a number is the same as multiplying the number by itself (6*6). In this case, 6 squared is 36.
36x^(4)y^(2) (y^(2))^(3)

Multiply 2 by 3 to get 6.
(36x^(4)y^(2)) * y^(6)

Multiply y^(6) by each term inside the parentheses.
36x^(4) y^(8)
