Find the products:3a2 × 8a4

1.	Find the products:3a2 × 8a4
Answer» 3a² × 8a⁴ The coefficient of the product of two monomials is equal to the product of their coefficients. The variable part in the product of two monomials is equal to the product of the variables in the given monomials. Then, = (3 × 8) × (a²× a⁴) = (24) × (a²⁺⁴) … [∵ a^m × aⁿ = a^m+n] = (24) × (a⁶) = 24 a⁶⁺

Answer»

3a² × 8a⁴

The coefficient of the product of two monomials is equal to the product of their coefficients.

The variable part in the product of two monomials is equal to the product of the variables in the given monomials.

Then,

= (3 × 8) × (a²× a⁴)

= (24) × (a²⁺⁴) … [∵ a^m × aⁿ = a^m+n]

= (24) × (a⁶)

= 24 a⁶⁺
