Question

Simplify each expression: ( 5a^2b^3)(4ab^5)

Answer 1

Answer:

(22•5a3b4)

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

4ab • (5a2 • b3)

STEP

2

:

Multiplying exponential expressions :

2.1 a1 multiplied by a2 = a(1 + 2) = a3

Multiplying exponential expressions :

2.2 b1 multiplied by b3 = b(1 + 3) = b4

Final result :

(22•5a3b4)

Answer 2

Answer:

20a^3 b^8

Step-by-step explanation:

( 5a^2b^3 ) ( 4ab^5 )

= ( 5 . a^2 . b^3 ) ( 4 . a . b^5 )

= ( 5 . 4 ) ( a^2 . a ) ( b^3 . b^5 )

= 20 ( a^2 . a^1 ) ( b^3 . b^5 )

= 20 ( a^( 2 + 1 ) ) ( b^( 3 + 5 ) )

= 20 ( a^3 ) ( b^8 )

= 20a^3 b^8
