Consider the expression shown.

(x^-3 y^5 z^-4)x (x^6 y^-7 z^-2)

Please choose the values of the exponents of x, y, and z in the simplified expression, respectively.

A. 3

B. -9

C. -18

,

A. -35

B. -2

C. -12

,and

B. -6

C. -2

1 answer

The simplified expression is:

x^(-3+1+6) * y^(5-7) * z^(-4-2)
= x^4 * y^(-2) * z^-6

Therefore, the values of the exponents of x, y, and z are:

A. 4

B. -2

C. -6
