We are required to write the expression:
[tex](2p^2)^3[/tex]Without exponents. First, we operate the parentheses:
[tex](2p^2)^3=2^3(p^2)^3=2^3p^6[/tex]This is the simplified expression. If we wanted to avoid the exponents, then we have to express the exponents as products:
[tex]2^3p^6=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p\cdot p[/tex]This is the required expression
