Question

How do you simplify
(-2r^2s)^3 (3rs^2)?

Answer 1

Example
(-2 r^5 s^3)^2 = (-2)^2 r^10 s^ 6 = 4 r^10 s^6

Answer 2

So you multiply the exponents?

Answer 3

Another example
( a^2 b^3 c^7)^4= a^8 b^12 c^28

Answer 4

by the -2

Answer 5

So the answer to mine would be

Answer 6

u add exponents when multiplying but when ( )^3 u multiply

Answer 7

Try to do it

Answer 8

oh okay

Answer 9

okay
(-2)^3 = 8
r^2 + 3 = r^5
s^1 + ^3 = s^4

Answer 10

right?

Answer 11

or i mean -8

Answer 12

Your final answer should look like
(-2 r^2 s)^3 (3 r s^2) = -24 r^7 s^5

Answer 13

wait how did you get -24? sorry i just dont understand eachstep, when to multiply when to add etc

Answer 14

3(-8)=-24

Answer 15

(-2 r^2 s)^3=-8 r^6 s^3

Answer 16

(-8 r^6 s^3) (3 r s^2) = -24 r^7 s^5

Answer 17

Have a good day
