question
fully simplify.
16x⁴(2x²y)
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the coefficients

Multiply 16 and 2.
$16\times2 = 32$

Step2: Multiply the x terms

Use the rule $a^m \times a^n = a^{m + n}$ for $x^4$ and $x^2$.
$x^4\times x^2 = x^{4 + 2}=x^6$

Step3: Combine all terms

Combine the coefficient, x - term, and y - term.
$32\times x^6\times y = 32x^6y$

Answer:

$32x^6y$
