Question

multiply the expression. (-2c^2d)(-cd^5) =

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply coefficients

$(-2)\times(- 1)=2$

Step2: Multiply variables with same base

$c^{2}\times c=c^{2 + 1}=c^{3}$ (using $a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m + n}$)

Step3: Multiply other variables

$d\times d^{5}=d^{1+5}=d^{6}$ (using $a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m + n}$)

Step4: Combine results

$2c^{3}d^{6}$

Answer:

$2c^{3}d^{6}$
