Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.(2v3)(4v)(5v)______
Grouping coefficients and variables: Group the coefficients and the variables with the same base.We have the expression (2v3)(4v)(5v). We can group the coefficients (2,4,5) and the variables with the same base (v3,v,v) together.
Multiplying the coefficients: Multiply the coefficients.Now we multiply the coefficients 2, 4, and 5 together.2×4×5=8×5=40
Applying the product rule for exponents: Apply the product rule for exponents.When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents. We have v3, v, and v which is equivalent to v1 and v1. So we add the exponents 3, 1, and 1.v3⋅v1⋅v1=v(3+1+1)=v5
Combining the results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.We have found that the product of the coefficients is 40 and the product of the variables is v5. Now we combine them to get the final simplified expression.40×v5=40v5
