Evaluate: 4v^3 * vu^2

Expression: $4{v}^{3} \times v{u}^{2}$

If a term doesn't have an exponent, its implied exponent is $1$

$4{v}^{3} \times {v}^{1}{u}^{2}$

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

$4{v}^{3+1}{u}^{2}$

Add the numbers

$4{v}^{4}{u}^{2}$

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

$4{u}^{2}{v}^{4}$
