What are the steps for multiplying monomial algebraic terms where they have exponents with like bases?
An example, please. ?
it doesnt give any i dont think it only gives a link http://www.montereyinstitute.org.education2020.us/courses/Algebra1/COURSE_TEXT_RESOURCE/U08_L1_T1_text_container.html?date=OS81LzIwMTQgODo0MToyOCBQTQ%3d%3d&u=MTZiNzAzNTUtYmUyMy1lNDExLTgwYmYtMDAxNTE3ZjA5ODk1&tbopt=MTExMDAwMTEwMDAw&preflang=RW5nbGlzaA%3d%3d&hash=BrBMjlrYxDu27ww%2f%2ftse8g%3d%3d
mutiply all the numbers together, no matter what they are...2, 6, 8, 12, 54, etc. all are multiplied together. for the variables, the letters that is, you can multply "like" letters together by adding their exponents. for example, \[x ^{2} \times x ^{4}=x ^{6}\]Likewise for all variables. They can be multiplied together as long as they are the same letter. If you have a combination of letters, like this:\[(x ^{2}y ^{3})(x ^{4}y ^{2})\]the x's will be multiplied together and the y's will be multiplied together, and you do that by adding their exponents. The above example would equal \[x ^{6}y ^{5}\]For a combination of all different letters and numbers, it would be done in the same way, for example...\[(3x ^{3}y ^{2}z ^{5})(2x ^{5}y ^{ 4}z)=6x ^{8}y ^{6}z ^{6}\]
I hope that helps you!
it does thank you!
You're welcome!
TY for the medal!
