Write an expression that is equivalent to the following:
4 · x · x · x
To write an expression that is equivalent to 4 · x · x · x, we can use exponentiation to represent multiplication of the same variable. In this case, the variable is x.
The given expression can be written as:
4 · x · x · x = 4 · x^3
The exponent 3 indicates that we are multiplying x by itself three times. So, the expression 4 · x · x · x is equivalent to 4x^3.
The expression that is equivalent to 4 · x · x · x can be written as 4x^3.
short form for x*x*x is x^3
now multiply that by 4
