Question 719746: hellp, I have a couple of problems, that I am truly stuck on. The first one says to simplify the expression. (3p to the 4th power-2)+(2p to the 3rd power-6p to the 3rd power. I am unable to type it in the correct format. The second problem is (4n to the 2nd power *n to the 3rd power)and then to the 3rd power outisde of the parenthesis.

The first one says to simplify the expression.
(3p to the 4th power-2)+(2p to the 3rd power-6p to the 3rd power.
----
(3p^4 - 2)(2p^3 - 6p^3)
-----
(3p^4 - 2)(-4p^3)
-----
= -12p^7 + 8p^3
===================
The second problem is (4n to the 2nd power *n to the 3rd power)and then to the 3rd power outside of the parenthesis.
---------------------------
(4n^2*n^3)^3
----
= (4n^5)^3
----
= 64n^15
