Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.(5u3)(9u2)
Identify Components: Identify the components of the expression that can be combined.We have two terms, 5u3 and 9u2, which can be multiplied together. We will group the coefficients (5 and 9) and the powers of u (u3 and u2) separately.
Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients.Calculate the product of the coefficients 5 and 9.5×9=45
Combine Powers: Combine the powers of u.When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.u3×u2=u(3+2)=u5
Write Expression: Write the simplified expression.Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to get the final simplified expression.(5u3)(9u2)=45u5
