anonymous · Answer

can you help me understanding the statments :P

anonymous · Answer

I mean the algebriac ones

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the first expression is 

$$\large (4x)^2*(x)$$

and the second expression is 

$$\large (6x^2)^4$$

that's what it looks like anyway

anonymous · Answer

Okay.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

$$\large (4x)^2*(x)$$

$$\large (4^2x^2)*(x)$$

$$\large 16x^2*(x)$$

$$\large 16x^3$$

I'll let you simplify the second expression

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

once you have the simplified forms, compare the exponents

anonymous · Answer

Oh okay. I got it now. Thanks. c:
