%282m%5E4%29%2A%288m%5E8%29 Start with the given expression.


m%5E%284%2B8%29 Remember when you multiply monomials, you add their corresponding exponents. For instance x%5E2%2Ax%5E3=x%5E%282%2B3%29=x%5E5


16m%5E12 Simplify. Remember to multiply the coefficients (which are numbers in front of the variables) to get 2%2A8=16.
