Question

1. simplify $(3x^2)(4x^3)$. $7x^5$ $7x^6$ $12x^5$ $12x^6$

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the coefficients

$3 \times 4 = 12$

Step2: Combine like variables (add exponents)

$x^2 \times x^3 = x^{2+3} = x^5$

Step3: Combine results

Multiply the coefficient result with the variable result.

Answer:

C. $12x^5$
