Question

Use the properties of exponents to simplify the following as much as possible
2x^6(−6x^5)

Answer 1

=-12x^11 and if integrated then =-x^12 the simplest form..

Answer 2

is this\[2x^6(-6x^5)\]?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

multiplication is commutative, meaning you can move the terms around, so this is the same as\[2x^6(-6x^5)=(2\cdot(-6))\cdot x^6\cdot x^5\]

Answer 5

use the rule \[\large x^2\cdot x^b=x^{a+b}\] to simplify the variable terms
