Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When multiplying two expressions with the same base, you add the exponents. For the given expression, multiply the coefficients (-8 * -3 = 24) and add the exponents for x (5 + 3 = 8) and y (1 + 6 = 7), resulting in $24 x ^ { 8 } y ^ { 7 }$.

Exponents and Scientific Notation 1 Use the Product Rule - (−8x5y)(−3x3y6)\left( - 8 x ^ { 5 } y \right) \left( - 3 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 6 } \right)(−8x5y)(−3x3y6)
