Given the numerical equation:
12x^4(-56x^3y^2)
Multiply.
Solution:
Before multiplying, we must simply understand first the concept of multiplying, dividing, or introducing signs. If similar signs are introduced, multiplied or divided to one another, the answer will become positive, hence if the signs are opposite to one another, then the answer will become negative. We must also take note the Rules of Exponent, which states that when multiplying exponents with similar base, we simply needed to add the base.
= 12x^4(-56x^3y^2)
= -1334x^(3+4)y^2
= -1334x^7y^2
Final answer:
= -1334x^7y^2
