Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression (7x⁵) (8x) and type your answer in the box.

Solution

The expression to simplify is:

(7x5)(8x)(7x^5)(8x)

Step-by-Step Simplification:

  1. Multiply the constants: 78=567 \cdot 8 = 56

  2. Add the exponents of xx (using the property xaxb=xa+bx^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b}): x5x1=x5+1=x6x^5 \cdot x^1 = x^{5+1} = x^6

  3. Combine the results: 56x656x^6

Final Answer:

56x6\boxed{56x^6}
