A number in exponential form.
52 (5 is the base and 2 is the exponent or power). The 2 says to multiply 5 by itself 2 times. 5*5 = 25
4 is the base, 2 is the exponent.
power
a power
The two are related. The answer could be base 2, exponent 18 or base 8, exponent 6 or base 10, exponent 5.4185 or base 262144, exponent 1 or base 68,719,476,736 and exponent 0.5
the base and the laws of exponent
An expression using a base and exponent takes the form ( a^n ), where ( a ) is the base and ( n ) is the exponent. The base represents a number that is multiplied by itself, while the exponent indicates how many times the base is used in the multiplication. For example, in the expression ( 2^3 ), 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning ( 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8 ).
The base could be 11 and the exponent 2, giving 112 But, it could equally be base = 14641, and exponent = 0.5, or base = 10, and exponent = 2.082785 (approx)
A base number is the value to the power of the exponent. For example, in 2^4, 2 is the base number and 4 is the exponent.
You answered your own question?
The exponent can only be found in the context of a base. But there is no base specified and so there can be no clear answer.On possible answer is that 262144 = 512^2 so, with the base 512, the exponent is 2.
When the base is squared.
