Simplify the expression. Assume all variables represent nonzero real numbers.
-$\left( 3 n ^ { 2 } \right) \cdot \left( - 6 n ^ { 5 } \right)$
A) $- 3 n ^{10}$
B) $- 3 n ^ { 7 }$
C) $- 18 n ^{10}$
D) $- 18 n ^ { 7 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents. Thus, $3 \cdot (-6) = -18$ and $n^2 \cdot n^5 = n^{2+5} = n^7$, resulting in $-18n^7$.

Simplify the Expression (3n2)⋅(−6n5)\left( 3 n ^ { 2 } \right) \cdot \left( - 6 n ^ { 5 } \right)(3n2)⋅(−6n5)
