QuestionMultiply and simplify:
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are given the expression . We need to multiply and simplify this expression
STEP 2
We will use the distributive property, which states that for all real numbers a, b, and c, the equation a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c holds true. In this case, we will distribute to each term inside the parentheses.
STEP 3
Now, we will simplify each term. When multiplying terms with the same base, we add the exponents.
STEP 4
Finally, we simplify the expression by combining like terms. In this case, there are no like terms, so the expression is already in its simplest form.
This is the simplified form of the given expression.
