2x^7(10x^4+6x^2) Multiply. solve with steps please.

OpenStudy (tamtoan):

if \[x^{a}.x^{b} = x^{a+b}\] can you tell what \[x^{7}.x^{4} = ?\] then do the same with others, also number time number then you will get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't understand it. would it be x^28

OpenStudy (tamtoan):

no, distribute in....like this a(b+c) = a.b + a.c ...multiply separate terms, if the power are not alike, you cannot add them up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it would be x^11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be 20x^11+12x^9?

OpenStudy (tamtoan):

correct!
