simplify (a³ b)⁵(a⁶b⁷)

OpenStudy (kohai):

The first step to this is to multiply the exponent of 5 to the exponents inside of (a^3 b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(a^15 b^5) a^30 b^35

OpenStudy (kohai):

Kind of. The exponent of 5 only applies to the left one, the (a³ b)

OpenStudy (kohai):

*(a^3 b)

OpenStudy (kohai):

So you get (a^3 b)(a^6 b^7). With these, you're going to add the exponents. So a^3+6 b^1+7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^9 and b^8

OpenStudy (kohai):

Yeah :)
