Is an exponent also called a base number?
No, an exponent is not called a base number. the base is the number before the exponent: 34. 3 is the base, 4 is the exponent the expont could also be refered to as three to the fourth power
What is power in mathematics?
A power or an exponent is the representative of the number of times a number is multiplied by it self. 42 = 4 x 4 = 16. 34 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81 However, to undo it you need to exponent the number by 1/2. EX. 161/2= 4 811/4=3
What is the definition of base number?
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.
What is the base for 4 to the 3rd power?
4 is the base, 3 is the exponent. Answer = 4 to power 3 = 64
How do you solve an exponent?
An exponent means "this many times." So, 4 cubed (to the power of 3; a 3 exponent.) is 4 NOT times 3, but 3 TIMES. So it is 4x4x4(=64). Or, 5 to the power of 5 is 5 times itself 5 times, so, 5x5x5x5x5(=3,125). 3 to the power of 9 is 3 times itself 9 times. Basically, the exponent tells how many times you multiply the number by itself. Does that help?
