The expression (x^13)(x^4) is equivalent to x^p. What is the value of p?

Question

A. 9
B. 21
C. 29
D.19

Answer 1

Using the property of exponents that states x^a * x^b = x^(a+b), we can simplify (x^13)(x^4) as x^(13+4) = x^17.

Therefore, p = 17.

The correct answer is not among the options listed.
