Question

The first box is to type in the base. The second bulks is where you feel in the simplified exponent and using the multiplication Property rule of exponents. Multiply. Write the product as one combine power

Answer 1

Answer: 16m⁹

Step-by-step explanation

Given

`(-2m^4)*(-8m^5)`

In order to multiply, we can divide them into two, the coefficients and the exponents of the variable. Using the Product rule of the exponents we can get that:

`a^x*a^y=a^(x+y)`

Then, based on the latter we can get the following multiplication:

`=-2\cdot-8\cdot m^(4+5)`

Multiplying the signs and the numbers we get:

`=16\cdot m^(4+5)`

Adding the exponents :

`=16m^9`
