simplify the equation

Answer:
3 a^4
Step-by-step explanation:
4a * 6a^5 / 8a^2
Multiply the terms in the numerator
We know that we add the exponents when like terms with exponents are multiplied
24 a ^(1+5) = 24a^6
24a^6 / 8 a^2
Divide the whole numbers and subtract the exponents since we are dividing like terms with exponents
3 a^(6-2)
3 a^4
