Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
As goddesboi mentioned,
is the same as x.
Because of this, we don't put the 1 in the exponents place, but if you do, there is nothing wrong with it. This can also be applied to 1 times a number, say for example x. We don't keep the 1 with the x because it is the same thing as saying, x, so it is easier and faster to write.
I hope this helps!
