Question

What is 5x to the 3rd power

Answer 1

125x

Explanation:

5^3=125 so, for 5x if there is no value of x, x just acts as a variable and the answer is 5x^3=125x

Answer 2

125x^3

Explanation:

So you can write it like (5x)^3

Then, when there are parenthesis,you multiply the exponent for each number inside by the exponent on the outside. So, that would make it: 5^3x^3. Since 5^3 is 125, you can write it like, 125x^3.
