Answer:


(2x^3)^3=8\cdot x^(9)

Explanation:

Properties of Exponents

The property called Power to a Power shows us how to simplify expressions of the type:


(x^n)^m=x^(n*m)

Similarily the property called Power of a product simplifies expressions like:


(x.y)^n=x^n.y^n

The company mentioned in the question uses the expression


(2x^3)^3

millimeters per second to calculate the maximum capacity of a photocell with an area of x^3 square millimeters.

First, use the power of a product property:


(2x^3)^3=2^3\cdot (x^3)^3

Now use the power to a power property:


(2x^3)^3=2^3\cdot x^(3*3)

Operate:


\mathbf{(2x^3)^3=8\cdot x^(9)}
