Question

Simplify the product.
5a2(3a4 + 3b)

Answer 1

Ok......

You would have to distribute the 5a^2 to all of the numbers and letters in the parentheses.
That would leave you with
15a^6 + 15a^2b

Answer 2

The product of
`5a^(2)(3a^(4)+3b)` is
`15a^(6)+15a^(2)b` .

Explanation:

As given the expression in the question

`= 5a^(2)(3a^(4)+3b)`

First open the bracket

`= 5a^(2)* 3a^(4)+5a^(2)* 3b`

Now by using the exponent property

`x^(a).x^(b)=x^(a+b)`

`= 15a^(2+4)+5a^(2)* 3b`

`= 15a^(6)+15a^(2)b`

Therefore the product of
`5a^(2)(3a^(4)+3b)` is
`15a^(6)+15a^(2)b` .
