Mathematics — first biennium · Monomials
To raise a monomial to a power, raise the coefficient too, taking its sign into account, and multiply every exponent in the literal part by the outer exponent.
(−2)³ = −8; (x²)³ = x⁶; y³ = y³.
The outer exponent acts on every factor of the monomial, not only on the variables.
In this lesson: Raise a monomial to a power by applying the exponent to the coefficient and every factor in the literal part.
You can already assume: Multiplying monomials and laws of exponents.
