Question

2n^4 * 6n^4
Do i add the bases or multiply them?

Answer 1

12 n^8

Answer 2

neither. 2 n^4 6 n^4 = 2 (6) n^4 n^4 = 12 n^8

Answer 3

if you forget how to multiply n^4 * n^4 remember what n^4 means:
n*n*n*n
so n^4 * n^4 = n*n*n*n * n*n*n*n = n^8

it's definitely easier to add the exponents 4+4=8

Answer 4

but what do i do about the 2n and 6n?

Answer 5

2*6 =12
n*n= n^2
12n^2

Answer 6

Is it (2n)^4 or 2n^4? Is the 2 being raised to the 4th power? If not, there's nothing else to do. The 2 and 6 can be multiplied to get 12.

Answer 7

when you multiply, you can re-arrange things: 2n*6n= 2*6*n*n= 12n^2

Answer 8

If it's (2n)^4 (6n)^4 then the answer is instead 20736 n^8.

Answer 9

ok thanks and can you help me do 7v^3*10u^3v^5*8uv^3

Answer 10

just to be clear, when people write 7v^3 (for example) that means 7*v*v*v or 7*v^3
so, first
sort things: all the numbers times each other, all the bases times each other (do it alphabetical)

Answer 11

7v^3*10u^3v^5*8uv^3 = 7*10*8 * (u^3 *u)* (v^3 * v^5 * v^3)

Answer 12

Can you finish?

Answer 13

i dont kow man

Answer 14

7v^3*10u^3v^5*8uv^3 = 7*10*8 * (u^3 *u)* (v^3 * v^5 * v^3)

Answer 15

you can do it step by step 7*10*8=
u^4*u =
v^3 * v^5 *v^3 =
then put it together.
