Question

Break down the expression into basic terms:

5x2 5x^2

Step-by-Step Solution

To break down the expression 5x2 5x^2 into its basic terms, we identify each component in the expression:

5is a constant multiplier 5 \, \text{is a constant multiplier}

x2 x^2 means xx x \cdot x

Therefore, 5x2 5x^2 can be rewritten as 5xx 5 \cdot x \cdot x .

Answer

5xx 5\cdot x\cdot x
