What is the product of -5x2y4 and -8x6y4?

40 x⁸y⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying numbers that have powers to the same base, we simply add the indices and multiply the coefficients of the common bases.

To solve -5x²y⁴ multiplied by -8x⁶y⁴, we add the indices that have a common base.

-5x²y⁴× -8x⁶y⁴= (-5)(-8)x⁽²⁺⁶⁾y⁽⁴⁺⁴⁾

=40x⁸y⁸

A negative number multiplied by a negative= positive number

product of 5x²y⁴ and -8x⁶y⁴ = 40x⁸y⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Identities

Xᵃ * Xᵇ = X⁽ᵃ ⁺ ᵇ⁾

Xᵃ/Xᵇ =  X⁽ᵃ ⁻ ᵇ⁾

It is given that, -5x²y⁴ and -8x⁶y⁴

To find the product of  -5x²y⁴ and -8x⁶y⁴

( -5x²y⁴ ) * ( -8x⁶y⁴) = (-5 * -8) *x² *x⁶ * y⁴ * y⁴

 = 40 * x⁽² ⁺ ⁶⁾ * y⁽⁴ ⁺ ⁴⁾

 = 40 * x⁸ * y⁸

 = 40x⁸y⁸

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
