Question

Write as a product: 0.81p^6m^4 - 0.01x^2.

A) 0.8(p^6)(m^4) - 0.01(x^2)
B) (0.81p^6)(m^4) - (0.01x^2)
C) 0.8(p^6)(m^4) + 0.01(x^2)
D) (0.81p^6m^4) - (0.01x^2)

Answer 1

To write the expression as a product, factor out the common terms separately. The expression can be written as (0.81p^6)(m^4) - (0.01x^2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 0.81p^6m^4 - 0.01x^2. To write it as a product, we can factor out the common terms from each term separately. The common term in the first term is 0.81, and the common term in the second term is 0.01. We can factor out p^6 and m^4 from the first term, and x^2 from the second term. So, the expression can be written as (0.81p^6)(m^4) - (0.01x^2), which corresponds to option B in the choices given.
