\"%28-8pq%5E2%29%28-4p%5E4q%5E5%29\"....first multiply \"-8\" and \"-4\"; since both negative, their product is positive\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=\"%2832pq%5E2%29%28p%5E4q%5E5%29\".....now multiply \"p\" and \"p%5E4\"; apply rule for multiplication:If \"m\" and \"n\" are natural numbers, and \"a\" is a real number, then \"a%5Em+%2A+a%5En+=+a%5E%28m+%2B+n%29\" \r
