Answer:

40t^6

Explanation:

(-4t^5)(-10t) = 4t^5 • 10t

40t^5 t = 40t^ 5+1 = 40t^6

Answer:

40t⁶

Explanation:

Since -4t⁵ and -10t have the same variable (base), we can multiply their coefficients (numbers) and add their exponents

-4t⁵ * -10t = 40t⁶

Since both numbers are negative, when we multiply them, they cancel out.

SInce both variables are the same (both are t), we can just add their exponents together. Even though we don't see an exponent above -10t, we can assume that it is 1. Think of it as this, -10t = -10t¹ because it just represents -10t, -10t (specifically the t) isn't being multiplied by anything.
