Question

Simplify (2)(5^x)+(3)(5^x)

Answer 1

So. . 5^x (2 + 3)?

Answer 2

guess so
better known as \(5\times 5^x\) or even \(5^{x+1}\)

Answer 3

Why 5^x+1? Why would you add the 1?

Answer 4

because
\[5\times 5^x=5^1\times 5^x\] add the exponents since the bases are the same and get \(5^{x+1}\)

Answer 5

like if \(x=3\) you would have \[5\times 5^3=5^4\]

Answer 6

oooh that makes sense. Thank you!
