When the bases are diffenrent and the exponents of a and b are the same, we can multiply a and b first:
a n ⋅ b n = (a ⋅ b) n
Example:
32 ⋅ 42 = (3⋅4)2 = 122 = 12⋅12 = 144
When the bases and the exponents are different we have to calculate each exponent and then multiply:
a n ⋅ b m
Example:
32 ⋅ 43 = 9 ⋅ 64 = 576
-1(18+4x)=8
Then you distribute
-18-4x=8
-4x=26
X= -6.5
Please provide a correct formula of your polynomial.
Where are the signs of (4x^2) and (3x)???
The answer will be 11. Hope it help!
