simplify (xsquared) (xcubed) (xpower of 5) (xpower of 0)

Question

a. xpower of 30

b. xpower of 10

c. x power of 0

d. 1

Answer 1

When you see stuff like x^a * x^b * x^c * x^d, the answer is always x^(a+b+c+d). Hence the answer in this case is x^{(2 + 3 + 5 + 0)} = x¹⁰.

Answer 2

(x^2)(x^3)(x^5)(x^0)

= x^(2+3+5+0)

= x^10

Answer: b
