Calculate (x×4×3)³: Cube of a Three-Term Product

Question

(x43)3= (x\cdot4\cdot3)^3=

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the expression
00:03 When there is a power on a product of terms, all terms are raised to that power
00:11 We will use this formula in our exercise
00:16 We will raise each factor to the power
00:21 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let us begin by using the law of exponents for a power that is applied to parentheses in which terms are multiplied:

(xy)n=xnyn (x\cdot y)^n=x^n\cdot y^n

We apply the rule to our problem:

(x43)3=x34333 (x\cdot4\cdot3)^3= x^3\cdot4^3\cdot3^3

When we apply the power to the product of the terms within parentheses, we apply the power to each term of the product separately and keep the product,

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

x34333 x^3\cdot4^3\cdot3^3
