Question

when \\(6a^2b^3 \cdot -3a^8b^3\\) is multiplied, the product of the coefficients is dropdown.

Explanation:

Identify the coefficients of each term

The given expression is \(6a^2b^3 \cdot -3a^4b^3\).
The coefficient of the first term \(6a^2b^3\) is \(6\).
The coefficient of the second term \(-3a^4b^3\) is \(-3\).

Multiply the coefficients

$$ 6 \cdot (-3) = -18 $$

Answer:

When \(6a^2b^3 \cdot -3a^4b^3\) is multiplied, the product of the coefficients is <blank>-18</blank>.
