Answer:

The answer to your question is Forgot the sign and the exponent is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

First equation                              (3x²)(-2x⁴)

Associative property                   (3)(-2)(x²x⁴)

Simplify                                         (-6)(x²⁺⁴)

Correct answer                            -6x⁶

The error was that forgot the negative sign and in a multiplication, the exponents must be added not multiply.
