The Power of a Product Rule of Exponents

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The power of a product rule of exponents applies an exponent to each factor of a product: (ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ.

Show

(2x)³ equals 2³ · x³ = 8x³ — the 2 gets cubed along with the x.

Watch for

The rule covers products only, never sums.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
