I think you mean:%28ab%5E4%29%28ab%5E2%29
When multiplying things with like bases, you add their exponents. highlight%28%28a%5En%29%28a%5Em%29=a%5E%28n%2Bm%29%29
If they don't have an exponent, it is understood to be 1.
%28ab%5E4%29%28ab%5E2%29
a%5E%281%2B1%29b%5E%284%2B2%29
highlight%28a%5E2b%5E6%29
Happy Calculating!!!
