Question
simplify.
$\left(-3x^{4}y^{2}z\
ight)^{2}\left(2yz^{3}\
ight)$
Step1: Apply power of a product rule
First, apply the power of a product rule \((ab)^n = a^n b^n\) to \((-3x^{4}y^{2}z)^{2}\).
\[
$$\begin{align*}
(-3x^{4}y^{2}z)^{2}&=(-3)^{2}(x^{4})^{2}(y^{2})^{2}(z)^{2}\\
&=9x^{8}y^{4}z^{2}
\end{align*}$$
\]
Step2: Multiply with the second term
Now, multiply the result from Step 1 with \(2yz^{3}\). When multiplying terms with the same base, we add the exponents.
\[
$$\begin{align*}
9x^{8}y^{4}z^{2}\cdot2yz^{3}&=(9\times2)x^{8}(y^{4}\cdot y)(z^{2}\cdot z^{3})\\
&=18x^{8}y^{4 + 1}z^{2+3}\\
&=18x^{8}y^{5}z^{5}
\end{align*}$$
