you are correct!
-4c^3 + 17c^3 = (-4+17)c^3 = 13c^3
you can only combine like terms, that is terms with the same exponent and since in this case they have they same exponent, you can add the two together.

Yes you are correct. And the "little" 3 is called an exponent. Terms with the same value exponent can be combined in the way that you did.

i think you mean that the little 3 is c to the power of 3 or c^3.
-4c^3+ 17c^3=
c^3 (-4+17)=
13c^3
yes, your answer is correct.
