![Use the product notation to rewrite the following expression.
\[
(t - 4) \cdot (t^2 - 4) \cdot (t^3 - 4) \cdot (t^4 - 4) \cdot (t^5 - 4) \cdot (t^6 - 4) = \prod_{k=1}^{6} (t^k - 4)
\]
Explanation of Notation:
The symbol \(\prod\) represents the product notation, analogous to summation notation (denoted by \(\sum\)), but for products. In this case, it indicates that you need to multiply a sequence of expressions together.
- The lower bound \(k = 1\) and upper bound \(6\) signify that the variable \(k\) starts at 1 and ends at 6.
- Each term inside the product is of the form \(t^k - 4\), where \(k\) takes on integer values from 1 to 6.
- This notation succinctly represents the same expression as the expanded product of terms shown before the equation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7cff8c4a-bb33-4b54-bd2d-8ccd43ef3f82%2Ff0c16600-3b08-4b5f-85c3-e9105b0b327b%2F7056a5_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
