Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression x^7 × x^6.

Solution

The given expression is:

x7×x6x^7 \times x^6

To solve this, you can apply the rule of exponents for multiplying terms with the same base. The rule states:

xa×xb=xa+bx^a \times x^b = x^{a+b}

In this case:

x7×x6=x7+6=x13x^7 \times x^6 = x^{7+6} = x^{13}

Thus, the result is:

x13x^{13}
