Given the equation:
a^b = x
Determine a^( b + 2)
Solution:
Since the value of a^b is already given which is, we can simply determine the answer, by including what was added to the question that is being asked. We are asked to determine what is a^(b + 2), hence since we know a^b is equal to x, adding 2 to the exponent means that we will also add 2 to the equation.
a^b = x
a^(b + 2) = x + 2
Final answer:
a^(b + 2) = x + 2
