Can you explain how to do this?

(2x^2y^3)(-3x^3y^4)(6xy)=?

amistre64 · Answer

id stack them to keep track of it better

anonymous · Answer

What do you mean?

amistre64 · Answer

2 x^2 y^3
-3 x^3 y^4
  6  x    y

i mean, id stack them so that i could keep track of them better :/

anonymous · Answer

ohh okay

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

$$(2.-3.6)x^2y^3x^3y^4xy$$

anonymous · Answer

my bad

amistre64 · Answer

like bases add exponents; and constants just get mulitplied together

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

multiply the constants & multiply the like terms to gt ur answer

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

gt it @maherman97 ???

anonymous · Answer

no... haha what do you mean the constants?

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

constants=numerical terms

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

such as 3,5 etc.

anonymous · Answer

well can you walk me through the steps?

anonymous · Answer

i would start by multiplying   (6xy) by 2x^2y^3) get the answer and the multiplying the answer by (-3x^3y^4)

anonymous · Answer

how do you multiply the first part?

anonymous · Answer

ok . (6xy)(2x^2y^3)= 12x^3y^4 using exponents rules.

anonymous · Answer

okay so then why do i multiply that by (-3x^3y^4)

anonymous · Answer

that what the operator dose.

anonymous · Answer

the what???

anonymous · Answer

im soooo confused!

anonymous · Answer

(A)(B)(C)  means A multiply B multiply C as an example .

anonymous · Answer

rightt....

anonymous · Answer

So then i multiply 12x^3y^4 by (-3x^3y^4)

anonymous · Answer

SO THAS why we use the operator (multiplication)  thats what i mean by "operator" hope that helps

anonymous · Answer

okay so can you show me the steps into multiplying 12x^3y^4 by (-3x^3y^4)

anonymous · Answer

sure.

anonymous · Answer

so what do i do first?

anonymous · Answer

1>multiply 12by -3 = -36

2> x^3by x^3 = x^6

3> y^4 by y^4= y^8

anonymous · Answer

so it would be -36x^8y^8?

anonymous · Answer

x^6* my badd

anonymous · Answer

okay thanks soooo much!

anonymous · Answer

ive got another for you

anonymous · Answer

i would appreciate a "BEST REPONSE " if you think so?? :)

anonymous · Answer

thanks

anonymous · Answer

sooo if i have $$(3x)^{3}(4x)^{2}$$ would the answer be 216?

anonymous · Answer

no (3x)3(4x)2 thats not the same. be careful mate.. :)

anonymous · Answer

so what would it be? and what did i do wrong?

anonymous · Answer

$$(3x)^3$$   is not the same as

$$3x^2$$ = henc $$(3x)^3$$=$$3^3 x^3= 27x^3$$

and $$3x^3=3x^3$$
