Chapter 11.1, Problem 51SR

To determine

To find: The simplification of the given expression.

Answer to Problem 51SR

The simplification of the given expression is $-5c^5{d}^3$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The given expression is $\left(5c{d}^2\right)\left(-c^{4}d\right)$

The simplification of the given expression is calculated as,

  $\begin{array}{c}\left(5c{d}^2\right)\left(-c^{4}d\right)=-5c^{1+4}{d}^{2+1}\\ =-5c^5{d}^3\end{array}$

Thus, the simplification of the given expression is $-5c^5{d}^3$ .
