(3d)^3 =???

anonymous · Answer

6?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you would cube each piece

@jim_thompson5910

anonymous · Answer

what does cube it mean? @jim_thompson5910

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

well something like 2 cubed would be 2*2*2 = 8

3 cubed = 3^3 = 3*3*3 = 27

4 cubed = 4*4*4 = 64

5 cubed = 5*5*5 = 125

etc etc

anonymous · Answer

so how many times do u want me to cube the 3? @jim_thompson5910

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you cube it once

by multiplying three copies of 3

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

3 cubed = 3^3 = 3*3*3 = 27

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

and the other piece is d, so d^3 is just d^3

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

(3d)^3 = 27d^3

anonymous · Answer

so now we just have to choose 1 of these

anonymous · Answer

The exponents in Expression #1 are greater than the exponents of Expression #2.
The exponents on Expression #2 are greater than the exponents of Expression #1.
The exponents of Expression #1 are the same as the exponents of Expression #2.
The relationship cannot be determined with the given information.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

(3d)^3 = 27d^3

(3d)^3*d = 27d^3*d

(3d)^3*d = 27d^4

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the exponent in expression #1 is 4

do the same to find the exponent in expression #2
