Answer 2

...

Click equation and click buttons till you find one that looks like the above.

Answer 4

ok working on it

Answer 5

\[3a^{n}(a^{n}+a^{n-1})\]

Answer 6

ok got it!

Answer 7

and you have to simplify it?

Answer 8

yeah

Answer 9

\[\huge\color{red}{a^b \times a^c=a^{b+c}}\]Use this to expand the parenthesis. I mean to factor this whole thing out.

Answer 10

\[\huge\color{red}{ 3a^n(a^n+a^{(n-1)}~~) }\]

Answer 11

I was disconnected.

Answer 12

that happens to me a lot

Answer 13

\[\huge\color{red}{ (~~ 3a^n \times a^n~~ )}~~~+~~~\huge\color{red}{ (~~~ 3a^n \times a^{(n-1)}~~) }\]

Answer 14

\[\huge\color{red}{ 3a^{n+n} }~~~+~~~\huge\color{red}{ 3a^{n+(n-1)} }\]

Answer 15

\[\huge\color{red}{ 3a^{2n} }+\huge\color{red}{ 3a^{2n-1} }\]

Answer 16

I think that's the farthest you can go.
