Q. Fully simplify.\newline11x4y2(16x5) -11 x^{4} y^{2}\left(-16 x^{5}\right) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Distribute terms: Distribute the multiplication across the terms.\newlineWe need to multiply 11x4y2-11x^{4}y^{2} by 16x5-16x^{5}. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents. Also, a negative times a negative is a positive.\newline11×16=176-11 \times -16 = 176\newlinex4×x5=x4+5=x9x^{4} \times x^{5} = x^{4+5} = x^{9}\newliney2y^{2} remains unchanged as there is no y term in the second factor.
  2. Combine results: Combine the results from Step 11 to form the final simplified expression.\newlineThe multiplication gives us a single term:\newline176x9y2176x^{9}y^{2}
