Simplifying Products and Quotients
- For the product (3u²)(8u⁶), the simplified result is 24u⁸; combine coefficients and add exponents.
- The multiplication of (−3d)(5d⁵)(−d³) results in 15d⁹; negative coefficients multiplied yield a positive result.
- Dividing (10x⁸y⁵) by (−2xy²) simplifies to -5x⁷y³; adjust the signs and reduce the variables.
- The expression (24a²b) divided by (6ab) simplifies to 4a; reduce coefficients and variables.
Laws of Exponents
- The multiplication of powers law (x²)(x³) results in x⁵; add the exponents.
- Simplifying 5x⁴/x² yields 5x²; subtract the exponents for the same base.
- The product (7x²)(x³) simplifies to 7x⁵; again, add exponents.
- Raising a power to a power (3x⁴)⁵ results in 3⁵x²⁰; multiply the exponent.
Negative Coefficients
- The expression (-7x²)(4x⁴) simplifies to -28x⁶; multiply coefficients and add exponents.
- The division x⁸ ÷ x⁵ results in x³; apply the same rules of exponent subtraction.
- The product (-2x³y²)(5xy⁴) simplifies to -10x⁴y⁶; multiply coefficients and add the exponents of like variables.
Further Simplification
- (6h)⁴ simplifies to 6⁴h⁴; distribute the exponent.
- 3⁸ breaks down into (3⁵)(3³) by adding exponents.
- (3³)⁵ results in 3¹⁵; another demonstration of power to a power.
- The expression (4⁷)² simplifies to 4¹⁴; distribute the exponent.
- 4⁴ can be expressed as 4⁶ / 4², showing the quotient of powers.
- 5¹⁰ can also be represented as (5²)⁵, reinforcing the power of a power concept.
