x • x • x • x • x = ?

Thanks CPhill for the chance of answering this!

as CPhill said , according to his examples i am going to tell you its answer Mari!

$$x*x*x*x*x=x^5$$   $$ANSWER$$  

(as ther are 5 x's we are multiplying so we'll take the power of x as 5)

Hope this helps!

I'll give you a hint here:

x * x =  x²

x * x * x = x³  

That should help

CPhill can i answer this please!

Go ahead, rosala

x*x*x*X*X=x⁵

The easiest way to solve this is to count how many x's are there and then but the 5 as the power.

x=base 

5=power

$$\begin{array}{rclclcl} x &=& x^1 &=& x^{(1)} &=& x^1\\ x*x &=& x^1*x^1 &=& x^{(1+1)} &=& x^2\\ x*x*x &=& x^1*x^1*x^1 &=& x^{(1+1+1)} &=& x^3\\ x*x*x*x &=& x^1*x^1*x^1*x^1 &=& x^{(1+1+1+1)} &=& x^4\\ x*x*x*x*x &=& x^1*x^1*x^1*x^1*x^1 &=& x^{(1+1+1+1+1)} &=& x^5 \end{array}$$
