Question

How do you write `-3 * m * 4 * n * n` using exponents?

Answer 1

The value of `-3*m*4*n*n` is `-12*m*n^2`

Explanation:

To calculate the value you have to multiply all factors remembering that if you multiply the same factor `a` `n` times you can write the product as the power:

`a*a*a*...*a` (`n` times) `=a^n`.

In the given example there is a product of 2 variables `n` which can be written as the power:

`n*n=n^2`
