(9x4y7)3

Make sure every factor inside the parentheses 
has an exponent showing.  That includes the 9.
Give it a 1 exponent

(91x4y7)3

To remove the parentheses, use the distributive 
principle for exponents:

Multiply every inner factor's exponent by the 
outer exponent, 3: 

91·3x4·3y7·3

93x12y21

729x12y21
