when you mulitplyc same bases you should add their exponents
exxample
\[\huge\rm x^m \times x^n = x^{m+n}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean 14^9
Nnesha (nnesha):
9? to the 9 power ?
multiply coefficient
(7 times 2)(n^4 times x^5)
Nnesha (nnesha):
14 is not to the 9 power
the variable is to the 9 poawer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i am still so confused

so like 14^20
Nnesha (nnesha):
nope 9 is right bec you have to add exponents
so n^9 not 14^9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so it would be 14n^9
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\huge\rm (7 \times 2)(n^4 \times n^5)=(7 \times 2) n^{4+5}\]
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes that's right

5xy^5 * -3x^4y^3 how would that one be set up to find the product
Nnesha (nnesha):
* <--is that a multiplicationz sign ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea
Nnesha (nnesha):
that's same like we just did
multiply coefficients and add exponents of variables
Nnesha (nnesha):
x is same as x to the one power
x=x^1

so it would be like -15^xy13? or -15x^5y8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-15x^5y^8 i wrote that wrong
Nnesha (nnesha):
add coefficient of same variables
you can't add 3 exponent of y with 5 exponent of x
x^{1+4}
Nnesha (nnesha):
so which one is correct ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be -15x^5y^8
