(6a^3)^3 = 6^3* a^(3*3)

Answer 2

can you continue with this?

Answer 3

i got
216a^27 ?

Answer 4

216 is is correct, but

(a^3)^3 = a^(3*3) = a^9

Answer 5

one of rule of indices is( a^m)^n = a^mn

Answer 6

or you can regard it as (a^3)^3 = a^3 * a^3 * a^3 - adding the exponents this is
a^(3+3+3) = a^9

Answer 7

okay i get it now thank you
