Step 1: Combine the exponents:
4x^3 * 3x^2 = (4*3)x^(3+2) = 12x^5
Step 2: Simplify the numerical coefficients:
12x^5
Step 3: Divide the coefficients:
12 / 6 = 2
Step 4: Subtract the exponents:
x^5 / x = x^(5-1) = x^4
So the simplified expression is 2x^4.
4x^3 * 3x^2 = (4*3)x^(3+2) = 12x^5
Step 2: Simplify the numerical coefficients:
12x^5
Step 3: Divide the coefficients:
12 / 6 = 2
Step 4: Subtract the exponents:
x^5 / x = x^(5-1) = x^4
So the simplified expression is 2x^4.
