Powered by AIMultiplying (abc)^3 × (abc)^9 involves adding the exponents, according to exponent rules: 3 + 9 = 12. Consequently, the expression simplifies to (abc)^12. This demonstrates the exponent rule which states that when multiplying powers with the same base, the exponents should be added together .
The commutative property of multiplication states that the order of factors does not affect the product. In the expression x × y × z, rearranging the factors yields the same result, xyz. Therefore, regardless of the order they are multiplied in, the result is always xyz .
Combining (5g^7) × (7g^-7) involves multiplying the coefficients, resulting in 35, and adding the exponents of g: 7 + (-7) = 0. The power of zero means g^0 is 1, so the overall expression becomes 35, demonstrating how any non-zero base with an exponent of zero equals one, simplifying calculations .
The multiplication (-6x^4) × 4x^-4 involves multiple concepts: simplifying coefficients and applying exponent rules. The multiplication of coefficients -6 and 4 gives -24. The exponents are added as 4 + (-4) = 0, resulting in x^0. By the property of exponents, x^0 is equal to 1. Thus, the final result is -24, illustrating how negative and zero exponents interact to result in coefficient simplification .
Multiplying 2(a^2 + ab) involves distributing the 2 across each term inside the parentheses: 2 × a^2 = 2a^2 and 2 × ab = 2ab, resulting in the expression 2a^2 + 2ab. This process illustrates how each term in the first factor must be multiplied by each term in the second factor, highlighting the distributive property as a foundational concept in polynomial multiplication .
Removing the brackets in the expression a – (-b + c) applies the rule of changing the signs within the brackets. The expression becomes a + b - c, illustrating the rule that subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding a positive .
The associative property allows us to regroup the factors without changing the product. In the expression (xy)^2 × 7(xy)^7, this property suggests that grouping (xy)^2 and (xy)^7 first and then multiplying by 7 does not affect the outcome. The exponents are added: 2 + 7 = 9, leading to (xy)^9. After simplification, it becomes 7 × (xy)^9, or simply 7x^9y^9, showing how the associative property simplifies complex multiplications by rearranging and consolidating exponents .
The expression y^5 × y^-9 involves adding the exponents, 5 + (-9), which equals -4. Thus, the expression simplifies to y^-4. By the rules of exponents, this equivalence can be rewritten as 1/y^4, demonstrating how negative exponents indicate reciprocal operations .
Applying the distributive property to 3x (2x^2 + 4xy - y) involves multiplying 3x with each term inside the parentheses: 3x × 2x^2 = 6x^3, 3x × 4xy = 12x^2y, and 3x × (-y) = -3xy. Therefore, the expression becomes 6x^3 + 12x^2y - 3xy .
The expression 4x × 6x^3 is simplified by multiplying the coefficients and adding exponents for like bases. Multiplying the coefficients, 4 and 6, results in 24. The exponents of x (which are 1 and 3, respectively) are added to result in x^4. Therefore, the expression simplifies to 24x^4. This process exemplifies the principle of multiplying coefficients and adding exponents for terms with the same base within algebraic multiplication .
