How do you multiply monomials with the same base?

  multiply their coefficients, use the base with the sum of exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients multiply. The base gets an exponent that is the sum of the exponents of the factors.

  (a·x^b)(c·x^d) = ac·x^(b+d)

If you remember that an exponent is simply an indicator of the number of times the base is a factor, this should be fairly clear. The usual associative and commutative properties of multiplication apply.

Example

  5x^2 · 7x^3= 5·x·x·7·x·x·x

  = 5·7·x·x·x·x·x

  = (5·7)(x^(2+3))

  = 35x^5

4

step-by-step explanation:

6 (donuts) divided by 3 is 2.

so 2/3 means 2 times 2, which is 4/6.

you get two and your friend gets four.

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
