Question

Simplify (-2x^3)^2 x y x y^9

- for anyone that needs this answer

Answer 1

`4x}^(6) {y}^(10)`

Explanation:

The reason it is 4x^2 for the first part is because the entirety of -2x^3 is being squared, so we need to do -2×-2 which will give us the 4 and 3×2 which will give us the 6.

It's y^10 because we have y×y^9, so we ADD the powers, giving us the power of 10.

Answer 2

Answer: 4x^6y^10 is the answer
