Question

Find the product. (-7p)^3

Answer 1

For this case we must resolve the following expression:

$(-7p) ^ 3$

So:

$(-7p) ^ 3 =\\(-7p) (- 7p) (- 7p) =$

By law of multiplication of signs we have:

$- * - = +\\+ * - = -$

Also:

$7 * 7 * 7 = 343\\p * p * p = p ^ 3$

Finally, we have that the expression is equivalent to:

$(-7p) ^ 3 = -343p ^ 3$

ANswer:

$-343p ^ 3$
