What is the product of 3a^5 and 2a^2 + 4a^2?

To find the product of 3a⁵ and 2a² + 4a², we first need to simplify the expression inside the parentheses.

The expression 2a² + 4a² can be simplified by combining like terms:

• 2a² + 4a² = (2 + 4)a² = 6a²

Now we can multiply 3a⁵ by 6a²:

• 3a⁵ * 6a² = 18a^{5 + 2} = 18a⁷

So, the final product of 3a⁵ and 2a² + 4a² is 18a⁷.
