Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. (8t)(5t)(5t)
Group Coefficients and Powers: Group the coefficients and powers that have the same base.(8t)(5t)(5t) can be grouped as (8×5×5)×(t×t×t).
Calculate Product of Coefficients: Calculate the product of the coefficients. 8×5×5 equals 40×5, which equals 200.
Combine Powers of t: Combine the powers of t.Since the base t is the same, we add the exponents when multiplying.t×t×t is t raised to the power of 1+1+1, which is t3.
Write in Simplest Form: Write the expression in its simplest form.Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to get the final simplified expression.(8t)(5t)(5t) equals 200×t3, which is 200t3.
