Advanced Math practice question

Answer: 8

The coefficient is cubed along with the variable: 2³ = 8, giving 8x⁹.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 2

The outer exponent applies to the 2 as well: 2³ = 8.

If you answered 6

6 multiplies 2 · 3; the coefficient must be raised to the third power: 2³ = 8.

If you answered 9

9 is the exponent on x (3 · 3), not the coefficient.
