Question Multiply and simplify the expression 6xy3z3x2yx26 x y^{3} z \cdot 3 x^{2} y x^{2}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given two expressions to multiply: 6xy3z6xy^{3}z and 3x2yx23x^{2}yx^{2}.
2. We need to apply the laws of exponents and multiplication to simplify the expression.

STEP 2

First, we will multiply the coefficients (numerical parts) of the two expressions.
6×36 \times 3

STEP 3

Calculate the product of the coefficients.
6×3=186 \times 3 = 18

STEP 4

Next, we will multiply the variables with the same base by adding their exponents according to the laws of exponents.
For the variable xx, we have x1x^1 from the first expression and x2+2x^{2+2} from the second expression.

STEP 5

Add the exponents of xx.
1+(2+2)=51 + (2 + 2) = 5

STEP 6

For the variable yy, we have y3y^3 from the first expression and y1y^1 from the second expression.

STEP 7

Add the exponents of yy.
3+1=43 + 1 = 4

STEP 8

For the variable zz, we only have z1z^1 from the first expression and no zz in the second expression.

STEP 9

Since there is only one zz, its exponent remains as 11.

STEP 10

Combine the results from steps 3, 5, 7, and 9 to write the simplified expression.
18x5y4z18x^5y^4z
The simplified result of multiplying and simplifying 6xy3z3x2yx26xy^{3}z \cdot 3x^{2}yx^{2} is 18x5y4z18x^5y^4z.
