You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
.
.
In order to simplify this you cube every factor in the parentheses:
.
The factors inside the parentheses are 2, p^3, v^4, and s^3. Cubing the 2 results in 2*2*2 which
equals 8. In the other three factors you use the power rule which says that you multiply the
exponents of these factors by 3 to cube them. The exponent of p is 3 and when you multiply
that by 3 you get 9. The exponent of v is 4 and multiplying that by 4 gives 12. And finally,
the exponent of s is 3 and multiplying that by 3 gives 9. When you substitute those results
the problem becomes:
.
.
And that's the simplification you are looking for.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the use of the power rule in raising terms with exponents
to another power.
