I have no clue where to begin on this one.

Hi I'm new here and I'm not very good at math.... anyhow can I have a pointer where to start with this problem that's giving me issues?
(2x to the third power) (3x to the fourth power)
If I could have some help I would greatly appreciate it!

multiply the coefficients ... (2)(3) = 6

multiply the variables ... (x³)(x⁴) = x⁷

put it all together ... 6x⁷

you're done.

ax^p * bx^q = abx^(p+q)

Just look at that:

Signature: ...with some math issues

Three times. Count them. THREE! Three times you have told the world that you can't do it. THREE!!! You are part of the world. Do you know that? You will not get better at math until you STOP beating up on yourself. Give yourself a break. Let's start with that "nice kid" stuff. That seems like a good frame of mind. Heavens! Cut yourself some slack.

Okay, I'm through with my tantrum. Let's learn some math.
