Multiply the monomials : a) a³ , -6 a² b and 2 b³
b) 16 x⁶ , -10 xy² and 3/5 x² y²
c) -4 p² q² and 3/8 pq²
​

here we want to multiply different monomials, the particular important thing about this problem is learning how to simplify these multiplications.

Here we need to remember the property:

Now we want to directly multiply the monomials:

a) a³ , -6 a² b and 2 b³

Here we just have:

Let's reorder that, so we can separate the variables and the coefficients, so then we can use the above property to solve this:

b) 16 x⁶ , -10 xy² and 3/5 x² y²

Like before, we want to simplify:

Again, reordering that we get:

Now solving each parenthesis:

Simplifying the last expression we get:

c)  -4 p² q² and 3/8 pq²

Here we want to simplify:

Using the same approach as before, we will get:
