Question 86547
Start with the given expression


{{{(k^2l^4m^2)(kl^2m^3)}}}


When you multiply common bases with exponents, you add the exponents



{{{k^(2+1)l^(4+2)m^(2+3)}}}  Add the exponents  (note: the variables and exponents of the 2nd parenthesis now equal 1. So we don't need to bother with writing them out)


{{{k^3l^6m^5}}}


So the expression


{{{(k^2l^4m^2)(kl^2m^3)}}}


simplifies to


{{{k^3l^6m^5}}}


So the answer is a)
