D.
16m4p6

Answer 1

D?

Answer 2

\(–4mp^4 \times (–4p) \times (m^3p)\)

Is this the problem?

Answer 3

Yeah

Answer 4

Yes, D is correct.

Answer 5

Thank you!

Answer 6

\(–4mp^4 \times (–4p) \times (m^3p)\)

Because of the commutative and associative properties, you can change the problem into this:

\(= [-4 \times (-4)] \times (m \times m^3) \times (p^4 \times p \times p) \)

\(=16m^4p^6\)
