Given the statement:
The sum and the product of X to the power of 2, and X
Solution:
Since we are asked with two operations, the sum and the product, we simply solve for each equation separately. We start first with the sum of the equation, hence we will designate an addition sign right on the middle of the two values.
= x^2 + x
The two values cannot be combine since they do not have the same degree, x^2 has a degree of 2, while x only has 1.
= x^2 + x
Now for the product of the two equation, we simply multiply them together, this means that we will add the exponents based on the general mathematical concept stated by the rules of the exponents.
= (x^2)(x)
= x^3
Final answer:
Sum = x^2 + x
Product = x^3
