Answer:


x^(5)

Explanation:

We simply add the exponents together. This depicts the exponent product rule, which states that when multiplying together two values with the same base (x) but different exponents, we can solve the answer by adding together the exponents with the base staying the same.

Explanation / Proof:


2^(2) * 2^(3) = 4 * 8 = 32\\\\2^(2) * 2^(3) = 2^(5) = 2*2*2*2*2 = 32

As you can see, adding together the exponents will give the same answer. Therefore, the answer is
x^(5).

So they have the same base you just need to add the exponent

X^3(x^2) = x^5

When you see two numbers both raised exponents you just need two add the exponents that’s all. Sorry if you still don’t understand. I’m bad at explaining.

Hope this helps!
