    a ^5 x a ^2 without exponents

    When we multiply the same variable or number, we add exponents, so we have:
    a^(5 + 2)
    a^7

    To write a variable raised to an exponent without exponents, we break it up. The formula to do this is:
    a^n = a times itself n times

    a^7 = a * a * a * a * a * a * a
