Simplify. 1.5m7(-4m5)2

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

Is this the expression?\[1.5m^7(-4m^5)^2\]

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

Remember\[(x^a)^b=x^{ab}\]\[x^ax^b=x^{a+b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea it is and no

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

We can rewrite the expression like so\[(1.5)(-4)^2m^7(m^5)^2\] Does that make it easier to simplify?
