GIVEN

The expression is given to be:


4x\cdot (3)/(2)x^5

SOLUTION

Multiply the numbers in the expression:


4*(3)/(2)=6

Therefore, the expression becomes:


6x\cdot x^5

Apply the law of exponents:


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

Therefore, the expression becomes:


\Rightarrow6x^(1+5)=6x^6

The LAST OPTION is correct.
