Identify Terms: Identify the terms to be multiplied and rewrite the multiplication expression.We have the fraction10z24z2 and we want to multiply it by 8z2. The multiplication expression is (10z24z2)×8z2.
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction before multiplying.The z2 terms in the numerator and denominator of the fraction 10z24z2 cancel each other out because they are the same, leaving us with 104. This simplification is valid because z2z2=1, provided that z is not equal to zero.
Further Simplify: Further simplify the fraction 104. The fraction 104 can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. This gives us 52.
Multiply Fraction: Multiply the simplified fraction by 8z2. Now we multiply the simplified fraction 52 by 8z2. This gives us (52)∗8z2.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.Multiplying 52 by 8z2, we get 2×8z2/5, which simplifies to 516z2.
Write Final Answer: Write the final answer in simplest form.The final simplified result of the multiplication is 516z2, which is already in its simplest form.
