Simplify (8x^3)^2

${(8 x^{3})}^{2}$

Step 1

Apply the product rule to $8 x^{3}$ .

$8^{2} {(x^{3})}^{2}$

Step 2

Raise $8$ to the power of $2$ .

$64 {(x^{3})}^{2}$

Step 3

Multiply the exponents in ${(x^{3})}^{2}$ .

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$64 x^{3 \cdot 2}$

Multiply $3$ by $2$ .

$64 x^{6}$
