Distribute terms: Distribute the multiplication across the terms.We need to multiply −11x4y2 by −16x5. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents. Also, a negative times a negative is a positive.−11×−16=176x4×x5=x4+5=x9y2 remains unchanged as there is no y term in the second factor.
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 1 to form the final simplified expression.The multiplication gives us a single term:176x9y2
