Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rule of exponents is ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
__
You have ...
(x^3)(x^a) = x^17
x^(3+a) = x^17
Equating exponents, we get ...
3 +a = 17
a = 14
The missing exponent is 14.

apply exponent rule:

Hey there :)
Writing in scientific notation means a should be
0 ≤ a < 10
Therefore, 0.000309 will be written as
3.09 x 10ⁿ
3 is the 4th decimal place value
so n = - 4
3.04 x 10⁻⁴
