60b2 you multiply the coefficients then the exopnients 5b1 (next to variables there are invisible exonients) x 12b1 ______ 60b2 (when multiplying like variables you add the exponients)
X2 * 2X= 2X3======multiply coefficients and add exponents ( all variables have a 1 as implied exponent )
Well, honey, it ain't rocket science. To multiply 4n by 2n, you simply multiply the coefficients (4 and 2) to get 8, and then multiply the variables (n and n) to get n^2. Put 'em together and you've got 8n^2. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
To find the product of X and 7X, you multiply the coefficients (numbers in front of the variables) and then multiply the variables together. In this case, 1 (implied coefficient of X) times 7 times X equals 7X^2. So, X times 7X is equal to 7X^2.
When you multiply two variables with different exponents, the exponents are added. For example, if you multiply x^2 by x^3, the result is x^(2+3) = x^5. Similarly, if you multiply x^3 by x^(-2), the result is x^(3+(-2)) = x^1 = x.
