Simplify the Exponential Expression: 5^(2x) × 5^x

Question

Reduce the following equation:

$5^{2x}\times5^x=$

00:00 Simply

00:03 According to the laws of exponents, multiplication of powers with equal base (A)

00:11 equals the same base raised to the sum of the exponents (N+M)

00:15 Let's use this formula in our exercise

00:19 We'll keep the base and sum the exponents

00:23 And this is the solution to the question

$5^{2x+x}$
