Answer:

1.) 6x⁷

2.) x⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (3x²) (2x⁵)

Commutative property of multiplication.

3•2x² x⁵

Multiply x² by x⁵ by adding the exponents.

3•2x⁷

Multiply 3 by 2

= 6x⁷

2. x⁵ • x• x²

Multiply x⁵ by x by adding the exponents.

x⁶• x²

Multiply x⁶ by x² by adding the exponents.

= x⁸

Answer:

1. (3x²)(2x^5) = 6x (The exponent should be added not multiplied: 2+5) so the correct answer is 6x^7

2. x^5 • x • x² = x^5+1+2 = x^8
