Question

Simplify this expression. Assume that x is nonzero. x^10 x x^3

Answer 1

Hey there!

x^10 * x^3

x^10

= x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x

x^3

= x * x * x

x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x + x * x * x

= x^13

Or

10 + 3 = 13

Therefore, your answer should be:
x^13

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer 2

`\sf x^(13)`

Explanation:

Exponent law:

If bases are same, add the exponents.

`\sf \boxed{a^m*a^n =a^(m+n)}`

`\sf x^(10)*x^3} = x^(10+3)\\`

`\sf = x^(13)\\`
