17. 6t^3 x 6t^3
(A)12t^3
(B)12t^6
(C)36t^6
(D)36t^9
Is it b or c??
I just need some help understanding if I'm supposed to add or multiply 6 and 6
Why did you address this math question to English and social studies tutors?
sorry i didn't know
Yep, sorry, Jacob. As me about history, and I can help. I still am not sure what 2 plus 2 equals. :)
To simplify the expression 6t^3 x 6t^3, you need to multiply the coefficients (numbers) and apply the product rule for exponents. Let's break down the calculations step by step.
1. Multiply the coefficients: 6 x 6 = 36.
2. Multiply the variables with the same base (t) and add their exponents: t^3 x t^3 = t^(3+3) = t^6.
The simplified expression is 36t^6, which corresponds to option (C).
