Simplify 2(-3x^3y^4)2.

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

im here to help you

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

ok so first Please excuse my dear aunt sally remember that

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

\[2(-3x^3y^4)2\]

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

is that the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it is.

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

ok so first you get \[(-6x^32y^4)2\]

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

@mathmale am i starting to do this right?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I'm going back to the original post to ensure that we've all got the expression correct:\[2(-3x^3y^4)2\rightarrow 2(-3x^3y^4)^2\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please double check your assumptions. Let me know whether this is the problem @lov101 intended to type in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I apologize; the 2 at the end of the expression should be squared: \[2(-3x^3y^4)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, I solved it on my own, and I believe the answer is \[18x^6y^8\] Can you double check this?

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

So is that right?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

My interpretation is different:\[2(-3x^3y^4)^2\rightarrow 2(-3)^2(x^3)^2(y^4)^2\]

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

good job lov101

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Never mind. We're on exactly the same wavelength. Congrats! Nice work.
