What is the simplified form of
(-3x to the 3 power y squared) (5xy to the -1 power)
Online "^" is used to indicate an exponent, e.g., x^2 = x squared.
Do you mean (-3x^3y^2)(5xy^-1) or
(-3x^3y^2)(5xy)^-1 ???
To simplify the expression (-3x^3y^2)(5xy^-1), we can use the product rule of exponents.
First, let's simplify the coefficient by multiplying -3 and 5, which gives -15.
Next, we simplify the x terms by multiplying the bases (x^3)(x) = x^(3+1) = x^4.
Then, we simplify the y terms by adding the exponents (y^2)(y^-1) = y^(2+(-1)) = y^1 = y.
Combining all of these simplifications, we have:
-15x^4y
