Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.(−6s2)(−4s2)
Identify and Multiply: Identify the expression and apply the multiplication property.We need to multiply −6s2 by −4s2.(−6s2)(−4s2)=(−6)(−4)(s2)(s2)
Simplify Constants and Variables: Simplify the constants and the variables separately.First, multiply the constants −6 and −4.(−6)(−4)=24Then, multiply the variables s2 and s2.(s2)(s2)=s(2+2)=s4
Combine Results: Combine the results from the previous step to get the final product. 24s4 is the simplified form of (−6s2)(−4s2).
