Question

Multiple the monomials (simplify) (8y^6)(-3y^5)

Answer 1

Given:

`\mleft(8y^6\mright)\mleft(-3y^5\mright)`

We will use the following rule of the exponents to simplify the expression:

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

So, the expression will be simplified as follows:

`\mleft(8y^6\mright)\mleft(-3y^5\mright)=(8)(-3)\cdot y^(6+5)=-24y^(11)`

So, the answer will be:

`-24y^(11)`
