Answer:
6n^6

Explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember the Power of a power property. This states that:


(a^m)^n=a^(mn)

You know that the given expression
6n^3 is used to determine points earned, and "n" represents the game level.

Therefore, knowing this, you can to substitute
n^2 into the expression
6n^3:


6(n^2)^3

Finally, in order to simplify the expression for the
n^2 level, you must apply the Power of a power property mentioned before.

Therefore, you get:


6(n^2)^3=6n^((2*3))=6n^6
