Question

question simplify: (10a^2)(-6a^4) answer attempt 1 out of 1

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply coefficients

Multiply 10 and - 6.
$10\times(-6)=-60$

Step2: Multiply variables

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

Step3: Combine results

Combine the results of coefficient - multiplication and variable - multiplication.
$-60\times a^6=-60a^6$

Answer:

$-60a^6$
