Simplify 4x^3*(2x^3)

$4 x^{3} \cdot (2 x^{3})$

Step 1

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$4 \cdot 2 x^{3} x^{3}$

Step 2

Multiply $x^{3}$ by $x^{3}$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x^{3}$ .

$4 \cdot 2 (x^{3} x^{3})$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$4 \cdot 2 x^{3 + 3}$

Add $3$ and $3$ .

$4 \cdot 2 x^{6}$

Step 3

Multiply $4$ by $2$ .

$8 x^{6}$
