Question

What is the simplified form of the expression x^8 * 2y^10 * 5x^5

Answer 1

you have two x like terms, multiply the x^8 by the 5x^5 to combine them into one term
your y term is as simple as it will get

Answer 2

I got the answer of 10xy^23. Is that correct?

Answer 3

no you cannot combine the exponents of different variables

Answer 4

x^8 * 5x^5 = 5x^13

5x^13 * 2y^10 = 10x^13y^10

Answer 5

so 2x^2*2y^2*2z^2 would = 8x^2y^2z^2

Answer 6

You can only combine the coefficients on different variables

Answer 7

Ok, so 8x^13 y^10?

Answer 8

5x^13 * 2y^10 = 10x^13y^10

10x^13y^10

Answer 9

Got it! Thanks!

Answer 10

\[10x^{13}y ^{10}\]
