I assume the 3 is an exponent.

[tex] 2x^3 = 2 \times x^3 = 2 \times x \times x \times x = 2x^3 [/tex]

[tex] (2x)^3 = 2x \times 2x \times 2x = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times x \times x \times x = 8x^3 [/tex]

The question as described means 3 is an exponent.

The difference between 2x³ and (2x)³ lies in the absence and presence of parenthesis respectively.

The term 2x³ can be rewritten as;

  • 2 × x³.

The term (2x)³ on the other hand can be rewritten as;

  • 2³ × x³.

  • More simply, becomes; 8x³.

Ultimately, the presence of parenthesis denotes that all mathematical elements within the parenthesis are affected by the exponent.
