Question

PLEASE Determine the product or quotient.

d) (-3x^3) (4xy)(-2x^2y^2)
e) (-28a^6 / -7a^5)
f) (8z^3)(7z^11)

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

`d ) (-3x^3) (4xy)(-2x^2y^2),\\3x^3\cdot \:4xy\cdot \:2x^2y^2,\\24x^3x^2xy^2y,\\24yx^6y^2,\\24x^6y^(1+2),\\\\Solution = 24x^6y^3`

First I removed the ( ) off the " main expression. " Afterwards I multiplied the terms, and through the exponential rule, I added exponents of like terms, simplifying the expression to the solution 24x^6y^3. The rest of these questions are performed in a like manner, so I don't think I need to explain them.

`e ) (-28a^6 / -7a^5),\\(28a^6)/(7a^5),\\(4a^6)/(a^5),\\\\4a^(6-5),\\4a,\\\\Solution = 4a`

____________________________________________

For part f ) can you be a bit more clear on the exponent part. One could say that this expression is ( 8z^3 )( 7z^1 * 1 ) or ( 8z^3 )( 7z^11 ). You never know, an exponent and a multiplied number can be confused considering that a number next to another is taken to be multiplied. After you confirm the expression I will be happy to change my response!
