Step-by-step solution for: Multiplying Monomials Worksheets
To solve the given problems, we need to multiply the polynomials and simplify the results. The general steps are:
1. Multiply the coefficients (the numerical parts).
2. Add the exponents of like bases (use the property \(a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}\)).
Let's solve each problem step by step.
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(3 \cdot 7 = 21\).
- Add the exponents of \(x\): \(x^5 \cdot x^6 = x^{5+6} = x^{11}\).
So, the result is:
\[
(3x^5)(7x^6) = 21x^{11}
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-6 \cdot 4 = -24\).
- Add the exponents of \(a\): \(a^4 \cdot a^4 = a^{4+4} = a^8\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-6a^4)(4a^4) = -24a^8
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-8 \cdot -7 = 56\).
- Add the exponents of \(t\): \(t^4 \cdot t^2 = t^{4+2} = t^6\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-8t^4)(-7t^2) = 56t^6
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-9 \cdot 7 = -63\).
- Add the exponents of \(x\): \(x^3 \cdot x^5 = x^{3+5} = x^8\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-9x^3)(7x^5) = -63x^8
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-6 \cdot -3 = 18\).
- Add the exponents of \(x\): \(x^4 \cdot x^2 = x^{4+2} = x^6\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-6x^4)(-3x^2) = 18x^6
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-7 \cdot -3 = 21\).
- Add the exponents of \(n\): \(n^3 \cdot n^6 = n^{3+6} = n^9\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-7n^3)(-3n^6) = 21n^9
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(6 \cdot -10 = -60\).
- Add the exponents of \(d\): \(d^4 \cdot d^5 = d^{4+5} = d^9\).
So, the result is:
\[
(6d^4)(-10d^5) = -60d^9
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(1 \cdot 8 = 8\) (since \(c^5\) has an implied coefficient of 1).
- Add the exponents of \(c\): \(c^5 \cdot c^2 = c^{5+2} = c^7\).
So, the result is:
\[
(c^5)(8c^2) = 8c^7
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(7 \cdot 2 = 14\).
- Add the exponents of \(n\): \(n^5 \cdot n = n^{5+1} = n^6\).
So, the result is:
\[
(7n^5)(2n) = 14n^6
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-2 \cdot 8 = -16\).
- Add the exponents of \(y\): \(y^4 \cdot y^2 = y^{4+2} = y^6\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-2y^4)(8y^2) = -16y^6
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(0 \cdot -b^3 = 0\) (any number multiplied by 0 is 0).
- The exponents do not matter because the result is 0.
So, the result is:
\[
(0t^5)(-b^3t^2) = 0
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-6 \cdot 2 = -12\).
- Add the exponents of \(k\): \(k^5 \cdot k^2 = k^{5+2} = k^7\).
- Add the exponents of \(n\): \(n^2 \cdot n^4 = n^{2+4} = n^6\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-6k^5n^2)(2k^2n^4) = -12k^7n^6
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-3 \cdot -1 = 3\).
- Add the exponents of \(p\): \(p^2 \cdot p^3 = p^{2+3} = p^5\).
- Add the exponents of \(c\): \(c \cdot c^2 = c^{1+2} = c^3\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-3p^2c)(-p^3c^2) = 3p^5c^3
\]
---
- Multiply the coefficients: \(-7 \cdot 10 = -70\).
- Add the exponents of \(m\): \(m^3 \cdot m^4 = m^{3+4} = m^7\).
- Add the exponents of \(k\): \(k^2 \cdot k = k^{2+1} = k^3\).
So, the result is:
\[
(-7m^3k^2)(10m^4k) = -70m^7k^3
\]
---
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
1. & \ 21x^{11} \\
