The Power of a Product Rule of Exponents
Captions available
The idea
The power of a product rule of exponents applies an exponent to each factor of a product: (ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ.
In practice
(2x)³ equals 2³ · x³ = 8x³ — the 2 gets cubed along with the x.
Where people slip
The rule covers products only, never sums.
