Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.(6w)(2w)(8w4)
Identify Components: Identify the components of the expression (6w)(2w)(8w4). We have 3 terms that are being multiplied together. Each term consists of a coefficient and a power of w.
Group Coefficients and Powers: Group the coefficients and the powers of w.(6w)(2w)(8w4) can be rewritten as (6×2×8)×(w×w×w4).
Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients.6×2×8 equals 96.
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule for exponents to the powers of w. The product rule states that when multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents. So w×w×w4 becomes w(1+1+4).
Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent for w.w(1+1+4) simplifies to w6.
Combine Coefficient and Power: Combine the simplified coefficient and power of w. The expression (6w)(2w)(8w4) simplifies to 96×w6, which can be written as 96w6.
