What is the simplified form of the expression?
x^8*2y^10*5x^5
x ^ 8 * 2 y ^ 10 * 5 x ^ 5 =
2 * 5 * x ^ 8 * x ^ 5 * y ^ 10 =
10 x ^ ( 8 + 5 ) * y ^ 10 =
10 x ^ 13 y ^ 10
Thank you. I have a final and midterm. Can I ask for help tomorrow? I need a 65 to graduate. I'd really appreciate it. I can't afford a tutor.
To find the simplified form of the expression, we can combine the like terms and simplify the powers of the variables.
The expression is: x^8 * 2y^10 * 5x^5.
To simplify this, we multiply the coefficients (the numbers multiplied together) and add the powers of the variables with the same base.
The coefficient is 2 * 5 = 10.
For the x terms, we add the exponents: x^8 * x^5 = x^(8+5) = x^13.
For the y terms, the exponent remains the same: y^10.
Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is 10x^13y^10.
