Question

Choose the product. a^2 b^3 · 6ab^2

Answer 1

sum the power, multiply the constants

6 a^3 b^5

Answer 2

`6(a^(3))(b^(5))`

Explanation:

we have

`a^(2)b^(3)6ab^(2)`

Group terms that contain the same variable

`6(a^(2)a)(b^(3)b^(2))`

sum the power

`6(a^(2+1))(b^(3+2))`

`6(a^(3))(b^(5))`
