Question

Simplify (-5m^2q)^2(-3m^3q)^3

Answer 1

Is that (-5m to the power of 2q) or (-5m to the power of 2) times q?

If it's (-5m to the power of 2) times q then here's your working:

(-5m^2q)^2(-3m^3q)^3

(-5m^4q^3)(-3m^6q^4)

-5m^4*-3m^6=15m^10

q^3*q^4=2q^7

(-5m^2q)^2(-3m^3q)^3=15m^10*2q^7

Answer 2

But the options are

A.675m13q5

B.-675m5q2

C.-675m13q5

D.675m5q2
