Identify Properties: Identify the properties of exponents to use.When multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you add the exponents. This is due to the property of exponents that states (am)(an)=a(m+n).
Apply Property: Apply the property of exponents to the given expression.(6z3)(2z4)=6×2×z3+4
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the coefficients and add the exponents. 6×2=12 and 3+4=7, so the expression becomes 12z7.
Check Simplification: Check for any possible simplification.The expression 12z7 is already in its simplest form, as there are no like terms to combine or further simplification to perform.
