Question

Simplify: (−2a4b) • (5a4b3)

Answer 1

`(-2a^4b) * (5a^4b^3) = -10a^(4+4)b^(1+3) = -10a^8b^4`

Answer 2

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

`-10a^8b^4`

Explanation:

We have to simplify:

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

On combining the like terms, we get

`-2* 5* a^4* a^4* b* b^3`

=
`-10* a^(4+4)* b^(1+3)`

=
`-10a^8b^4`

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

`-10a^8b^4`
