(-7p)^3

i dont get this one..

Answer 1

\[(-7)^3 \times p^3\]

Solve this..

Answer 2

-343p^3?

Answer 3

\[(-7) \times (-7) \times (-7) = \]

Answer 4

Yes absolutely right..

Answer 5

ok so we have an odd exponent and a negative number. Whenever we have this issue the ending result will always be negative (-7)^3 means -7 x -7 x -7 = it will become -343
-7 x -7 = 49 x - 7 = -343 hence the negative sign.. Remember that a negative x negative = positive. the (p)^3 is simple. the exponent determines the number of times a letter (variable) must be written. It's like writing p 3 times p p p
now combine them -343p^3

Answer 6

\[(-7p)^3 = (-7)^3+(p)^3\]\[(-7)\times(-7)\times(-7)= -343\]\[(p)\times(p)\times(p)= p^3\]\[-343+p^3 = -343p^3\] \[(-7p)^3=-343p^3\]
