Question image

Understand the Problem

The question involves multiplying two algebraic expressions, (5a²b³c⁴) and (6a³b⁴c²), to find the product. We will combine like terms and simplify the expression.

Answer

$$ 30a^{5}b^{7}c^{6} $$
Answer for screen readers

The product of the two expressions is:
$$ 30a^{5}b^{7}c^{6} $$

Steps to Solve

  1. Multiply the coefficients

Multiply the numerical coefficients:
$5 \times 6 = 30$

  1. Combine like terms for $a$

Add the exponents of $a$:
$2 + 3 = 5$
So, $a^2 \times a^3 = a^5$

  1. Combine like terms for $b$

Add the exponents of $b$:
$3 + 4 = 7$
So, $b^3 \times b^4 = b^7$

  1. Combine like terms for $c$

Add the exponents of $c$:
$4 + 2 = 6$
So, $c^4 \times c^2 = c^6$

  1. Combine all parts together

Combine the results of the coefficients and variables into one expression:
$$ 30a^{5}b^{7}c^{6} $$

The product of the two expressions is:
$$ 30a^{5}b^{7}c^{6} $$

More Information

This expression represents the product of two algebraic terms with different variables raised to various powers. The coefficients are multiplied together while the exponents are summed for like bases.

Tips

  • Forgetting to add the exponents for one of the variables.
  • Miscalculating the coefficient multiplication.
  • Not applying the rules for exponents properly.
