Let $p$ be an odd prime. The primary purpose of this paper is to determine the excess of the conjugates of the Steenrod operations $\mrm{P}[k;f]$, which are defined as $\mrm{P}[k;f]:=\mrm{P}(p^{k-1}f)\cdot\mrm{P}(p^{k-2}f)\cdot\cdots\cdot\mrm{P}(pf)\cdot\mrm{P}(f)$. The result is then used to obtain sufficient conditions for an element in the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{F}_p[x_1,\dots,x_s]$ to be in the image under the standard action of the Steenrod algebra. Results and methods are generalizations of previous work by Judith Silverman and by myself with Judith Silverman.
