Algebra: Simplifying Products

Worked Solution

Since all the terms are multiplied, we use x^a × x^b = x^a+b for each variable:
Rearranging the terms and applying the above rule to each variable in turn we have:
The constant (numeric) terms are: 2 ×2 ×2 = 8
Terms in b are: b × b × b × b² = b⁵
Terms in t are: t × t² × t² × t = t⁶
Terms in s are: s² × s × s³ = s⁶
Terms in p are: p² × p³ × p³ = p⁸
So the answer is: 8 b⁵ t⁶ s⁶ p⁸
