Question

: Explain, using complete sentences, how to simplify the expression below.

Part 2: What is the simplified expression?


(3x^3y^4)(2x^2y^6)

Answer 1

multiply all the constant terms and add the powers of like terms

Answer 2

multiplying similar bases result in summin the power of these similar bases
(3x^3y^4)(2x^2y^6) = 3*2(x^(3+2) y^(4+6) ) = 6 x^5 y^10

Answer 3

\[6x^{3+2}y^{4+6} = 6x^5y^{10}\]
