Question

What does a3+​a2 equal too

Answer 1

3+ 2 equals 5 so the answer is five if I’m doing it right

Answer 2

Answer:

$a^2(a+1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^3+a^2$

We can not combine like terms because this is not multiplication, but we can factor using the lowest exponent. Divide by $a^2$ on both numbers.

We can rewrite this as:

$a^2(a+1)$

We can check by expanding it.

What is $a^2*a$? $a^3$

What is $a^2*1$? $a^2$

If we add up the expanded form, we would get $a^3+a^2$

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!
