Understand the problem

Solve the following problem:

x3y4x4z6x3+y= x^3\cdot y^4\cdot x^4\cdot z^6\cdot x^{3+y}=

Step-by-step solution

Begin by applying the distributive property of multiplication in order to arrange the algebraic expression according to like terms:

x3x4x3+yy4z6 x^3x^4x^{3+y}y^4z^6

Next, we'll use the law of exponents to multiply terms with the same base:

aman=am+n a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}

Note that this law applies to any number of terms being multiplied, not just two. For example, when multiplying three terms with the same base, we obtain the following:

amanak=am+nak=am+n+k a^m\cdot a^n\cdot a^k=a^{m+n}\cdot a^k=a^{m+n+k}

Therefore, we can combine all terms with the same base under one base:

x3+4+3+yy4z6=x10+yy4z6 x^{3+4+3+y}y^4z^6=x^{10+y}y^4z^6

In the second step we simply added the exponents together.

Note that we could only combine terms with the same base using this law,

From here we can see that the expression cannot be simplified further, and therefore this is the correct and final answer which is answer D.

Final Answer

x10+yy4z6 x^{10+y}\cdot y^4\cdot z^6
