Use the laws of exponents and the commutative property of multiplications to rewrite the expression:


(2x^4)(13x^5y)(5y^3)

Factor out constants:


=2\cdot13\cdot5\cdot x^4\cdot x^5\cdot y\cdot y^3

Simplify the coefficient of the expression:


=130x^4\cdot x^5\cdot y\cdot y^3

Use the fact that (a^n)(a^m)=a^(n+m) to simplify the powers of the variables x and y:


\begin{gathered} =130x^(4+5)\cdot y^(1+3) \\ =130x^9\cdot y^4 \end{gathered}

Therefore:


(2x^4)(13x^5y)(5y^3)=130x^9y^4
