$(3a^5)\cdot(3a^5)$

When multiplying monomials with the same base, meaning the same letter, we need to follow the procedure below:

1 - multiply the numerical parts;

2 - repeat the letter;

3 - add the powers of the letter.

With this in mind we can solve the product as shown below:

$9\cdot a^{(5\text{ + 5)}}\text{ = 9}\cdot a^(10)$
