Question

Choose the product. a^3 b^2 · 4ab^3

Answer 1

the answer is 4a^4b^5

Answer 2

`4a^4b^5`

Explanation:

To find the product of:

`a^3 b^2 \cdot 4ab^3` .....[1]

Using the exponent rules:

`a^n \cdot a^m = a^(n+m)`

Apply the exponent rules on [1] we have;

`4a^(3+1) \cdot b^(2+3)`

Simplify:

`4a^4 \cdot b^5`

⇒
`4a^4b^5`

therefore, the product of a^3 b^2 · 4ab^3 is,
`4a^4b^5`
