The product 2x² · 5x³ can be written as kxⁿ, where k and n are constants. What is the value of k + n?

Answer: 15

2 · 5 = 10 and x² · x³ = x⁵, so k + n = 10 + 5 = 15.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 10
10 is k alone.
If you answered 12
12 adds the coefficients instead of multiplying.
If you answered 16
16 multiplies the exponents to get 6.
