Is (xy^2)^3 the same as
(xy^3)^2

no

Step-by-step explanation:

(xy²)³ = x³ = x³

(xy³)² = x² = x²

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematical rules tell you that you can multiply the powers, so in both cases the result will be xy^(6).

To check it, let's write it out.

1.

xy^2 means xy*xy

(xy*xy)^3 means (xy*xy)*(xy*xy)*(xy*xy) = xy^6

2.

xy^3 means xy*xy*xy

(xy*xy*xy)^2 means (xy*xy*xy)*(xy*xy*xy)= xy^6

i dont know sorry

step-by-step explanation:

ok then what happened.
