Question

Multiply and simplify:



6xy3z • 3x2yx2

Answer 1

The simplified answer is 18x5y4z.

Answer 2

`18x^(5)y^(4)z`

Explanation:

we have

`(6xy^(3)z)(3x^(2) yx^(2))`

Group terms that contain the same variable

`(6*3)(x*x^(2)*x^(2))(y^(3)*y)(z)`

Using

`x^a\cdot x^b=x^(a+b)`

`(18)(x^(1+2+2))(y^(3+1))(z)`

`(18)(x^(5))(y^(4))(z)`

`18x^(5)y^(4)z`
