Question

X times x^n Simplify it please and thank you!

Answer 1

Answer:

$x^{n+1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of exponents

• $a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$

note that x = $x^{1}$, hence

x × $x^{n}$ = $x^{n+1}$

Answer 2

X^(n+1). When we are multiplying variables with exponents, the rule is that we add the exponents together — for example, if I were to multiply 2^2 and 2^4, I’d get 2^6 (which is 2+4). This works the same:

If we consider that any number is actually itself to the first power so (x is the same as x^1) then if we multiply x^1 * x^n we get x^(n+1).
