What is the product?

[tex]\[ \left(3a^2b^7\right)\left(5a^3b^8\right) \][/tex]

A. \(8a^5b^{15}\)

B. \(8a^6b^{56}\)

C. \(15a^5b^{15}\)

D. [tex]\(15a^5b^{56}\)[/tex]


Sagot :

To find the product of \(\left(3 a^2 b^7\right) \left(5 a^3 b^8\right)\), let's break down the multiplication step by step:

1. Multiply the coefficients:
The coefficients are the numerical parts of each term. Here, the coefficients are 3 and 5.
[tex]\[ 3 \times 5 = 15 \][/tex]

2. Add the exponents of \(a\):
The exponents of \(a\) in the terms are 2 and 3 respectively.
[tex]\[ a^{2+3} = a^5 \][/tex]

3. Add the exponents of \(b\):
The exponents of \(b\) in the terms are 7 and 8 respectively.
[tex]\[ b^{7+8} = b^{15} \][/tex]

Combining these results, we get:
[tex]\[ 15 \cdot a^5 \cdot b^{15} \][/tex]

So the product is:
[tex]\[ 15 a^5 b^{15} \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 15 a^5 b^{15} \][/tex]
