When you multiply x cubed by x cubed, you add the exponents because you are multiplying like bases. x cubed times x cubed equals x to the power of 3+3, which simplifies to x to the power of 6. So, x cubed times x cubed is equal to x to the power of 6.
A cubed number has been multiplied by itself 3 times, so x cubed is x times x times x.
The number 6 can be factored into 2 x 3. So 6 cubed can be factored into 2 cubed times 3 cubed. In either case, the result is equal to 216.
X^5. When you multiply two of the same variables to a certain power, you simply have to add the powers together. So a number squared (2) times a number cubed (3) would equal a number to the fifth.
20 cubed (20 x 20 x 20) is equal to 8,000.
