Question

Can someone please simplify this expression with steps?
Assume that all variables represent nonzero numbers. 6p^6 x 8p^8

Answer 1

no problem. just multiply your base numbers (6*8) and add the exponents (6+8)

Answer 2

does that help at all

Answer 3

Yes... Are you saying 48+14

Answer 4

not really. when you have two exponents being multiplied you can multiply the bases and add the exponents
like so.
ap^(c) x bp^(d) = (a*b)p^(c+d)

Answer 5

The answer would be \[48p ^{14}\]

Answer 6

thanks!
