Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The expression 4u9×(2u3)4 u^9 \times (-2 u^3) involves multiplication of monomials.
2. The properties of exponents and multiplication apply.

STEP 2

1. Multiply the coefficients of the monomials.
2. Add the exponents of the like bases.

STEP 3

Identify the coefficients and the bases with their exponents.
The coefficients are 44 and 2-2. The base is uu with exponents 99 and 33.

STEP 4

Multiply the coefficients of the monomials.
4×(2)=8 4 \times (-2) = -8

STEP 5

Add the exponents of the like bases.
u9×u3=u9+3=u12 u^9 \times u^3 = u^{9+3} = u^{12}

STEP 6

Combine the results from the multiplication of coefficients and the addition of exponents.
4u9×(2u3)=8u12 4 u^9 \times (-2 u^3) = -8 u^{12}
Solution: 4u9×(2u3)=8u12 4 u^9 \times (-2 u^3) = -8 u^{12}
