Answer: 6400x² · (x - 1)²
The rule says: To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (x-1) and the exponents are:
1, as (x-1) is the same number as (x-1)1
And 1, as (x-1) is the same number as (x-1)1
The product is therefore, (x-1) (1 + 1) = (x-1)²
