Question

The product of -8x^2y and -2xy^3 using the law of exponents

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 16x³y⁴

Explanation:

Data

Terms -8x²y and -2xy³

Process

1.- Multiply the signs

( - ) ( - ) = +

2.- Multiply the coefficients

( 8 ) ( 2) = 16

3.- Multiply "x's"

( x² ) ( x ) = ( x² ) ( x¹ ) = x² ⁺ ¹ = x³

4.- Multiply "y's"

( y ) ( y³ ) = (y¹ ) ( y³ ) = y¹ ⁺ ³ = y⁴

5.- Join the results

+ 16x³y⁴ or 16x³y⁴
