Question

A times B cubed times A squared times B, what was the simplified result

Answer 1

then multiplying variables with exponents
the exponents add together for same variables
so x times x^2 = x^(1+2) = x^3
or you can think of it as
x = x
x^2 = x*x
so x times x^2 = x * x*x = x^3

Answer 2

so if you have x * y^3 * x^2 * y
it can be rearranged as x * x^2 * y^3 * y
and so simplify to x^3 * y^4
