Question

What is the product?

Answer 1

Answer:

15a^5b^15

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 5 and 3 to get 15, and then when you are multiplying exponents of variables, you actually add them, so a^2 times a^3 is actually a^5, and b^7 times b^8 is b^15. Because these are all multiplied together, you get the answer of 15a^5b^15.

Answer 2

Answer:

15 a^5 b^15

Step-by-step explanation:

3 a^2 b^7  * 5a^3 b^8

We know  x^y * x^z = x^(y+z)

3*5 a^(2 +3) b^(7+8)

15 a^5 b^15
