Simplify (2x)^3

Thanks for the help!

well, what does (2x)^3 mean ?

I need to simplify this equation

To simplify the expression (2x)^3, you need to apply the exponent to both the base (2x) and the exponent (3).

To do so, you multiply the exponent (3) by each exponent that is already present within the parentheses. In this case, since there is no exponent explicitly shown on the base (2x), the exponent can be understood as 1. Therefore:

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

Now, you simplify each term within parentheses:

2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

(x)^3 = x * x * x = x^3

Putting it all together, you get:

(2x)^3 = 8x^3

So, the simplified expression is 8x^3.
