Question

homework 6.2 multiplication of monomials simplify each expression. 9. $(-xy)^3(xz)$

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the power of monomial

$(-xy)^3 = (-1)^3 \cdot x^3 \cdot y^3 = -x^3y^3$

Step2: Multiply with the second monomial

$-x^3y^3 \cdot xz = -1 \cdot x^{3+1} \cdot y^3 \cdot z$

Step3: Simplify the exponents

$-x^4y^3z$

Answer:

$-x^4y^3z$
