Add the exponents x ^ (2 +8 +1)x2+8+1 = x^11x11

Explanation:

x^2 = x xx xx2=x×x
x^8 = x xx x xx x xx x xx x xx x xx x xx xx8=x×x×x×x×x×x×x×x
x = x^1 = 1 xx x x=x1=1×x

Add all the x's ( 2 + 8 + 1)

By adding all the exponents to multiply

x ^ (2 + 8 +1) = x^11x2+8+1=x11

The answer is x^11x11.

Explanation:

When one has the same number but with several different exponents, the multiplication of the values is the addition of the exponents. In this case, it would be

2 + 8 + 12+8+1

which would equal 1111.
