Question

Directions:Use the product rule to simplify the following monomials.

Answer 1

13) Answer: $-3a^3b^2$

$\left(-6a^2b\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}ab\right)$

$=-6a^2b\frac{1}{2}ab$

$=-6a^2b^2\frac{1}{2}a$

$=-6a^3b^2\frac{1}{2}$

$=-3a^3b^2$

14) Answer: $8y^5x$

$12y\left(\frac{2}{3}xy^4\right)$

$=12\cdot \frac{2}{3}xy^{1+4}$

$=12\cdot \frac{2}{3}xy^5$

$=\frac{2\cdot \:12xy^5}{3}$

$=\frac{24y^5x}{3}$

$=8y^5x$
