Question

Simplify: (−2a4b) • (5a4b3)

Answer 1

$(-2a^4b) \times (5a^4b^3) = -10a^{4+4}b^{1+3} = -10a^8b^4$

Answer 2

Answer:

Simplification of $(-2a^4b)(5a^4b^3)$ is:

$-10a^8b^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify:

$(-2a^4b)(5a^4b^3)$

On combining the like terms, we get

$-2\times 5\times a^4\times a^4\times b\times b^3$

= $-10\times a^{4+4}\times b^{1+3}$

= $-10a^8b^4$

Hence, simplification of $(-2a^4b)(5a^4b^3)$ is:

$-10a^8b^4$
