What is a difference between a picto graph and a picture graph?
a picture graph is an actual picture of the item being graphed and a picto graph is a symbol of the item being graphed
How do you identify the base and exponent in the expression two to third power?
The base is the large number, and is the number being multiplied; the exponent is the smaller number on the upper right, which says how many times the base is multiplied. 23 says that 2 is multiplied 3 times, so: 2 X 2 X 2. In this case, the base is 2, and the exponent is 3.
How do you type negative exponents into a calculator?
If your calculator is advanced, like the TI-84, there is an exponent button you can hit. Then, just Type negative and the exponent. If it is a simpler calculator, like a four-function calculator, there IS a way. By raising a number to a negative exponent, you are saying that one is being divided by that number to the positive version of that power. Ex: 5^-8 = 1/(5^8). To do this, divide one by the base, then raise it to the exponent, making sure that the exponent is POSITIVE. Also be careful that the entire denominator is in parentheses, just in case.
What is a number being added called?

What is a number that is being raised to a power called?
An exponent.
When a number is raised to a power what is it called?
The power could then be called an exponent. The number that is being raised to a power is called the base. In the case of 42, the exponent is 2 and the base is 4.
When writing exponents what is the repeated factor called?
The base is the repeated factor, the exponent is the number of times by which the base is mutltiplied by itself. The exponent is also known as the power, althought the product of the exponential expression can also be described as the power.
When is an exponent used?
When a number is being timed by itself, take how many times a number is used an that is your exponent. (Ex. 2x2x3x3x3x3 = 22x34
What is the bottom number in exponential form called?
The number that is being modified (8 in the following model) is referred to as the base number, or simply, base. Base Number----> 81 <------ Exponent
What is the difference between base number and the exponent?
In their simplest forms, a base number is the number that is being multiplied by itself while the exponent is the number of times that the base is multiplied.
When is the exponent positive?
An exponent is positive when the number being raised to that exponent is greater than 0. For example, in the expression 2^3, the exponent is positive because 2 is a positive number.
Definition of Base as math term?
The base number is the the number that is being repeatedlymultiplied in exponent problems. Example: 32 _ three is the base and two is the exponent
An indicator of many timies a number is being multiplied by itself?
An exponent
What is a raised number that tells how many times the base is being multiplied?
An exponent.
What is biased exponent?
A biased exponent is an exponent that is, in layman's terms, set aside when being used in high valued numbers, and basically just stored until the value of the number in the biased exponent needs to be used to solve an equation.
How does one graph complex numbers?
Complex numbers that are to be graphed are usually in the form of an equation, such as 2 + 2i, with 2i signifying the imaginary number. Think of "i" as being the same as "x". When graphing, you have the X-axis (horizontal) and the Y-axis (vertical). The first number is always graphed on the X-axis. The second number, because we don't know if it's positive or negative being that we don't know "i", must be graphed at both 2 and -2 on the Y-axis.
