(6x^2)^2 simplifies to what
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
36x^4
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
very good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh sry there was a y in there as well
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
yes

(6x^2y)^2 turns into 3x^4y^2
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
how ?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
(y^2)^3 = y^6 because you multiply exponents
so
(6x^2y)^2*(y^2)^3
turns into
36x^4y^2*y^6
then you add the exponents for the y terms to get 2+6 = 8
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
because y is the same as y^1
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
then you multiply exponents

afterwards
36x^4y^2*y^6
turns into
36x^4y^8
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
do you see how I got this?
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
kinda.. how did u simplify(6x^2y)^2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
here's another way to see it
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
(6x^2y)^2
(6x^2y)*(6x^2y)
(6*6)*(x^2*x^2)*(y*y)
36x^4y^2

So (6x^2y)^2 simplifies to 36x^4y^2
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
oh ok ! got it!
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
the answer is 36x4y8
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
thank you
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yw
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
oh wait i forgot the other question lol
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
6x^3 + 3x^3 = ???
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
9x6?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no you don't add the exponents

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
just the coefficients
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
ohhhh so i leave 3?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
-8x+6x = ???
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
-2x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
-5 + 2 = ??
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
-3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
put this all together to get
9x^3 - 2x - 3
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
thank you!!!!

you're welcome
