Answer 1

Answer: -125p12z18u3

Reason:

Square negative five twice, so: -5 x -5 x -5 = -125

The first squaring is -5 x -5, which is 25. The second squaring is 25 x (-5), which is - 125.

When it comes to the letters, they act like they are being multiplied.

(p4)3 = p12

(z6)3 = z18

(u)3 = u3

So the answer is -125p12z18u3.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

First you have to know the "power rule." This is when there is an exponent outside the parentheses and some/all of the variables/numbers in the parentheses have exponents as well. What you do is multiply the outer exponent with each of the exponents inside the parentheses.

$((-5)^{1*3} p^{4*3} z^{6*3} u^{1*3} )$

$(-5)^{3}p^{12}z^{18}u^{3}$

$-125p^{12}z^{18}u^{3}$

Hope this helped!
