Choose the correct simplification of the expression (5a7b)2. 25a14b2 25a^9b^2 25a^14b 10a^14b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 think its Option A but 1'm not sure

OpenStudy (amorfide):

\[(5a7b)^{2}=(5a7b)(5a7b)\] which would give \[25a ^{2}49b ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (amorfide):

or if you are multiplying by 2 then you would just do 2x5 and 2x7 then you get 10a14b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry the 7 is an exponent

OpenStudy (amorfide):

oh lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(5a ^{7}b)^{2}\]

OpenStudy (amorfide):

then you get \[(5a^{7}b)^{2}=(5a^{7}b)(5a^{7}b)\]

OpenStudy (amorfide):

which gives \[(25a^{7+7}b^{1+1})\]

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yeah you were right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with another?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (6x^2y)^2(y^2)^3. 12x^4y^8 36x^4y^5 36x^4y^8 12x^2y^7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1'm pretty sure its the third one

OpenStudy (amorfide):

well done :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks
