To expand the properties of exponents for monomial bases with integer exponents, we use the rule:
a^m * a^n = a^(m + n)
In the given expression -25x^8 * 5x^7, we can apply this rule as follows:
-25x^8 * 5x^7 = -25 * 5 * x^8 * x^7
Simplifying, we get:
= -125 * x^(8 + 7)
= -125 * x^15
Therefore, the simplified expression is -125x^15.
Expand the properties of exponents to involve monomial bases with integer exponents to simplify the expression −25x85x.(1 point)
