Question

Choose the correct simplification of (7x3y3)2. 14x6y6 49x5y5 49x6y6 14x5y5

Answer 1

The answer would be the first one.

I find it easier to expand the equation (you still get the same answer).

= 2 * 7x + 2 * 3y + 2 * 3
= 14x + 6y + 6

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer is 49x6y6 because the exponent 2 gives you (7x3x3)*(7x3x3) and the coefficient 7 is multiplied to 49 and the exponent 2 multiplies the exponents of 3 which gives you x6y6
