Question

Fully simplify 16x^4(2x^2y)

Answer 1

STEP 1:
Equation at the end of step 1

(16 • (x^4)) • (2x^2 • y)

STEP 2:

Equation at the end of step 2:

2^4x^4 • 2x^2y

STEP 3:

Multiplying exponential expressions :

3.1 x^4multiplied by x^2 = x(4 + 2) = x^6

Multiplying exponents:

3.2 2^4multiplied by 2^1 = 2^(4 + 1) = 2^5

Final result :
2^5x^6y
