ok so first you get \[(-6x^32y^4)2\]
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
@mathmale am i starting to do this right?
OpenStudy (mathmale):
I'm going back to the original post to ensure that we've all got the expression correct:\[2(-3x^3y^4)2\rightarrow 2(-3x^3y^4)^2\]
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Please double check your assumptions. Let me know whether this is the problem @lov101 intended to type in.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I apologize; the 2 at the end of the expression should be squared: \[2(-3x^3y^4)^2\]

Also, I solved it on my own, and I believe the answer is \[18x^6y^8\] Can you double check this?
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
So is that right?
OpenStudy (mathmale):
My interpretation is different:\[2(-3x^3y^4)^2\rightarrow 2(-3)^2(x^3)^2(y^4)^2\]
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
good job lov101
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Never mind. We're on exactly the same wavelength. Congrats! Nice work.
