Question

use multiplication to expand the expression below. then compute and/or simplify.
$(-4c)^3$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
press the · button or type the * symbol on your keyboard to represent multiplication. using × for multiplication is inappropriate when x may be used as a variable. for the answer, type the base, then use the $a^b$ button or type the ^ symbol for an exponent.
expanded form:
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the power to multiplication

$(-4c)^3 = (-4c) * (-4c) * (-4c)$

Step2: Separate constants and variables

$= (-4)*(-4)*(-4) * c*c*c$

Step3: Calculate constant product

$(-4)*(-4)*(-4) = -64$

Step4: Simplify variable product

$c*c*c = c^3$

Step5: Combine results

$= -64c^3$

Answer:

Expanded Form: $(-4c) * (-4c) * (-4c)$
