Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.(9k4)(7k4)(5k8)
Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients (numerical parts) of the expression.We have three coefficients to multiply: 9, 7, and 5.9×7×5=63×5=315
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule for exponents to the variables.The product rule states that when multiplying like bases, you add the exponents.k4×k4×k8=k(4+4+8)=k16
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 1 and Step 2 to write the final simplified expression.The coefficient is 315 and the variable part is k16.So, the simplified expression is 315k16.
