Question 173561
(-5x^2y)^2(xy^2)

Why not break it down piece by piece?

For (-5x^2y)^2, we raise each number and term in the parentheses to the second power.

So, (-5x^2y)^2 becomes (25x^4y^2)

We now multiply (25x^4y^2)times(xy^2) keeping in mind that exponents are added.


(25x^4y^2)times(xy^2)= (25x^5 4y^4)
