Question

I have to simplify the expression 12x⁻⁶y¹⁰.3x⁷y

Answer 1

36xy¹¹

Explanation:

(12x⁻⁶y¹⁰) × (3x⁷y)

(12×3) × x^(-6+7) × y^(10+1)

36 × x¹ × y¹¹

36xy¹¹

Answer 2

`36xy^1^1`

Explanation:

12x⁻⁶y¹⁰ * 3x⁷y (Group the constants and the variables)

(12 * 3) * (x⁻⁶y¹⁰ * x⁷y) (We can add the exponents together since the law of exponents states that when multiplying terms, we can add exponents if the bases are the same | Simplify)

36 *
`xy^1^1` (Simplify)

`36xy^1^1`
