Simplify c^-6*(2c^7)

$c^{- 6} \cdot (2 c^{7})$

Step 1

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$2 c^{- 6} c^{7}$

Step 2

Multiply $c^{- 6}$ by $c^{7}$ by adding the exponents.

Move $c^{7}$ .

$2 (c^{7} c^{- 6})$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$2 c^{7 - 6}$

Subtract $6$ from $7$ .

$2 c^{1}$

Step 3

Simplify $2 c^{1}$ .

$2 c$
