Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (4x3y2z4)(2x3y4z3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$=8x^6y^6z^7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(4x^3*y^2*z^4)(2x^3*y^4*z^3)\\\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}\\\:a^c=a^{b+c}\\=4y^2z^4\cdot \:2x^{3+3}y^4z^3\\\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:3+3=6\\=4y^2z^4\cdot \:2x^6y^4z^3\\\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}\\y^2y^4=\:y^{2+4}\\=4z^4\cdot \:2x^6y^{2+4}z^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}\\z^4z^3=\:z^{4+3}\\=4\cdot \:2x^6y^6z^{4+3}\\\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:4+3=7\\=4\cdot \:2x^6y^6z^7\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:2=8\\=8x^6y^6z^7$
