1. (x4)(x4)

Explanation

The given expression is (x4)(x4), which means multiplying x raised to the power of 4 with x raised to the power of 4. When we multiply two exponents with the same base, we add their powers. Therefore, x^4 * x^4 is equal to x^(4+4), which simplifies to x^8.

About This Quiz
Multiplying And Dividing Monomials - Quiz

This quiz focuses on multiplying and dividing monomials, enhancing skills in algebraic manipulation. It assesses the ability to simplify expressions using exponent rules, crucial for advanced mathematics studies.

2. A2(a3)(a6)

Explanation

The given expression consists of the variable 'a' raised to the powers 2, 3, and 6, which are multiplied together. To simplify this expression, we can add the exponents when multiplying like bases. Therefore, a^2 * a^3 * a^6 is equal to a^(2+3+6) which simplifies to a^11.

3. N9/n5

Explanation

The correct answer is n^4 because when dividing n^9 by n^5, we subtract the exponents which gives us n^(9-5) = n^4.

Submit
4. (e2f4)(e2f2)

Explanation

The given expression is a product of two terms, (e2f4) and (e2f2). To simplify the expression, we can multiply the exponents of the common base, e, which gives us e^4. Similarly, we can multiply the exponents of the common base, f, which gives us f^6. Therefore, the simplified expression is e^4f^6.

Submit
5. 8u4v10/-2u2v8

Explanation

The given expression is a division of two terms: 8u^4v^10 and -2u^2v^8. When dividing two terms with the same base (u and v in this case), we subtract the exponents. Therefore, the expression simplifies to -4u^(4-2)v^(10-8), which further simplifies to -4u^2v^2.

Submit
6. (-5m3)(3m8)

Explanation

To simplify the expression (-5m^3)(3m^8), we multiply the coefficients (-5)(3) to get -15. Then, we multiply the variables with the same base, m, and add their exponents. The exponent of m in the first term is 3, and in the second term, it is 8. So, when we multiply the variables, we add 3 + 8, which equals 11. Therefore, the simplified expression is -15m^11.

Submit
7. (102)3

Explanation

The given expression is (102)3. This means that 102 is raised to the power of 3. To simplify this expression, we need to multiply 102 by itself three times. Therefore, the correct answer is 10^6, which represents 102 multiplied by itself three times.

Submit
8. (cd2)(c3d2)

Explanation

The given expression consists of two sets of parentheses. The first set, (cd2), means that we have c multiplied by d squared. The second set, (c3d2), means that we have c cubed multiplied by d squared. When we simplify the expression, we multiply the coefficients (c and c cubed) and add the exponents (d squared and d squared), resulting in c to the power of 4 and d to the power of 4. Therefore, the correct answer is c^4d^4.

Submit
9. (4xy3)(3x3y5)

Explanation

The given expression is a product of two terms: (4xy^3) and (3x^3y^5). To simplify the expression, we multiply the coefficients (4 and 3) to get 12. Then, we combine the variables by adding the exponents: x^1 * x^3 = x^4 and y^3 * y^5 = y^8. Therefore, the simplified expression is 12x^4y^8.

Submit
10. 3a5b2/9a2b5

Explanation

The given expression is a division of two terms. To simplify the expression, we can combine like terms and apply the rules of exponents. In the numerator, we have a^5 * b^2, and in the denominator, we have 9 * a^2 * b^5. By dividing the coefficients and subtracting the exponents of the variables, we get a^3 / (3b^3) as the simplified form of the expression.

Submit
11. 30a9b2/2a6b2

Explanation

The given expression is a division problem, where 30a^9b^2 is divided by 2a^6b^2. When dividing like terms with the same base, we subtract the exponents. In this case, the common base is 'a'. The exponent of 'a' in the numerator is 9, and in the denominator, it is 6. Subtracting the exponents, we get a^3. The coefficient 15 remains unchanged. Therefore, the simplified expression is 15a^3, which is the correct answer.

Submit
12. 55/52

Explanation

The given expression is 55/52. The answer is 5^3. This means that 55/52 is equal to 5^3.

Submit
13. X3y4/x2y

Explanation

The given expression is a division of two terms, x3y4 and x2y. When dividing two terms with the same base (in this case, x), we subtract the exponents. So, we subtract 2 from 3, which gives us x3-2 = x^1 = x. Similarly, when dividing two terms with the same base (in this case, y), we subtract the exponents. So, we subtract 1 from 4, which gives us y4-1 = y^3. Therefore, the simplified expression is xy^3.

Submit
14. 20x3y8/-5x3y

Explanation

The given expression is a fraction with two terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator. To simplify the expression, we can cancel out common factors between the numerator and denominator. In this case, we can cancel out the common factors of "3y" from both terms in the numerator. After canceling out the common factors, we are left with "-4" in the numerator and "y" raised to the power of 7 in the denominator. Therefore, the simplified expression is -4y^7.

Submit
15. A2/a

Explanation

The given expression is a2/a. When we divide a number by itself, the result is always 1. Therefore, a2/a simplifies to a.

Submit
16. (y2z)(yz2)

Explanation

The given expression is the product of (y2z) and (yz2), which can be simplified by multiplying the coefficients separately (y * y * y) and (z * z * z), resulting in y^3z^3. This is the correct answer because it represents the simplified form of the given expression.

Submit
17. 2n4/n

Explanation

The given expression is 2n^4/n. To simplify this expression, we can divide the numerator (2n^4) by the denominator (n). Dividing 2n^4 by n gives us 2n^3. Therefore, the correct answer is 2n^3.

Submit
18. 13u7v7/26u7v

Explanation

The given expression consists of terms with variables and exponents. Among the given options, only the term v^6/2 matches the given expression. Therefore, the correct answer is v^6/2.

Submit
19. X(x2)(x7)

Explanation

The given expression is the product of x raised to the power of 2, x raised to the power of 7, and x itself. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add their exponents. Therefore, x^2 * x^7 * x^1 simplifies to x^(2+7+1), which is equal to x^10.

Submit
20. (-x3)(-x3)

Explanation

When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is always positive. In this case, (-x3)(-x3) can be simplified as (-1)(x^3)(-1)(x^3). The two negative signs cancel each other out, leaving us with (x^3)(x^3) which can be further simplified as x^(3+3) = x^6. Therefore, the correct answer is x^6.
