Base = 18, Power = 4
Yes, 6 is the base and 2 is the exponent in 6^2. To solve, 6 * 6 = 36 since we know that an exponent is not, in this instance, 6 * 2, but 6 * 6. If it was 6^3, the answer would be 6 * 6 * 6 = 216.
In the expression: 4³ = 64, the 3 is called the exponentor the power. You would read this as "four to the power of three" or "four cubed".But if it meant 34 = 81, which is read '3 to the 4th power' or '4th power of 3', then the 3 is called the base.
When multiplying two exponents with the same base, you add the exponents. Therefore, 5 to the power 6 times 5 to the power 8 is simplified to 5 to the power (6+8) which is equal to 5 to the power 14.
25 = 52 so 25-6 = (52)-6 = 5-12
