{(2 x - 3)}^{3}

${(2 x - 3)}^{3}$

Step 1

Use the Binomial Theorem.

{(2 x)}^{3} + 3 {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}

${(2 x)}^{3} + 3 {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.1

Apply the product rule to

2 x

$2 x$ .

2^{3} x^{3} + 3 {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}

$2^{3} x^{3} + 3 {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.2

Raise

2

$2$ to the power of

3

$3$ .

8 x^{3} + 3 {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}

$8 x^{3} + 3 {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.3

Apply the product rule to

2 x

$2 x$ .

8 x^{3} + 3 (2^{2} x^{2}) \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}

$8 x^{3} + 3 (2^{2} x^{2}) \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.4

Raise

2

$2$ to the power of

2

$2$ .

8 x^{3} + 3 (4 x^{2}) \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}

$8 x^{3} + 3 (4 x^{2}) \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.5

Multiply

$4$ by

$3$ .

$8 x^{3} + 12 x^{2} \cdot - 3 + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.6

Multiply

$- 3$ by

$12$ .

$8 x^{3} - 36 x^{2} + 3 (2 x) {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.7

Multiply

$2$ by

$3$ .

$8 x^{3} - 36 x^{2} + 6 x {(- 3)}^{2} + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.8

Raise

$- 3$ to the power of

$2$ .

$8 x^{3} - 36 x^{2} + 6 x \cdot 9 + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.9

Multiply

$9$ by

$6$ .

$8 x^{3} - 36 x^{2} + 54 x + {(- 3)}^{3}$

Step 2.10

Raise

$- 3$ to the power of

$3$ .

$8 x^{3} - 36 x^{2} + 54 x - 27$
