Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.(4k8)(3k7)(6k5)
Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients (numerical parts) of the terms.We have the coefficients 4, 3, and 6. Multiplying these together gives us:4×3×6=72
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule for exponents to the variables.The product rule states that when multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.k8×k7×k5=k(8+7+5)=k20
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 1 and Step 2 to get the final simplified expression.Multiplying the coefficient we found in Step 1 with the result from Step 2 gives us:72k20
