fully simplify.
$-11x^4y^5(2x^5y^2)$
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply constant coefficients

$-11 \times 2 = -22$

Step2: Multiply $x$-terms (add exponents)

$x^4 \times x^5 = x^{4+5} = x^9$

Step3: Multiply $y$-terms (add exponents)

$y^5 \times y^2 = y^{5+2} = y^7$

Step4: Combine all simplified terms

Multiply the results from Steps 1-3 together.

Answer:

$-22x^9y^7$
