Question

Write the expression as a monomial in its standard form.

9/16p^7 ⋅ (-4/3p^4)

Answer 1

-¾p¹¹

Explanation:

9/16p^7 ⋅ (-4/3p^4)

(9/16 × -4/3) × p^(7+4)

-3/4 × p¹¹

-¾p¹¹

Answer 2

-3/4 p^11

Explanation:

9/16p^7 ⋅ (-4/3p^4)

Multiply the numbers together

9/16 * -4/3 = -3/4

Now multiply the variables

p^7 * p^4

We know that a^b* a^c = a^(b+c)

p^(7+4) = p^11

Putting these back together

-3/4 p^11
