Question

the product of 8x and 4x^2y is​

Answer 1

Answer:

12x^16y

. .......,.........

Answer 2

Answer:

12x^3y

Step-by-step explanation:  

What we have :

  8x x 4x^2y

(First multiply the constants. i.e. 8 x 4 = 12)

(Then multiply the variables. i.e. x x x^2y = x^3y.)

= 12x^3y

Things to keep in mind :-

Remember, in variables, when you multiply, the power of the variable changes. When you are doing addition, the power doesn't change, but the constant does.

for example. 1) 3x^3z x 5x^2z^3 = 15x^5z^4

            And  2) 2x^2 + 3x = 5x^2x

Thank you. I hope this helped. If any questions or doubts. Please ask :) All the best!
