in a problem like n4=625
you need to do a mult-step equations
In the example, 4log n = log 625
log n = (log 625)/4
n = 10^[(log 625)/4] = 5
Although this particular answer is obvious, you could also solve n5=625, or any other power of n, which isn't, using this method.

The base of an exponent is the main number. For example in 56 the number 5 is the base and 6 is the exponent.
A number produced by raising a base to an exponent is called?
In the notation for powers, e.g. Ab, A is the base (the number which is multiplied by itself) and b is the exponent (the number of times we mutiply it). An Exponent is how many times you get a certain prime number in a factor tree. I don''t remember what a base is.
It is a power of that base.
When you write 53 , the whole thing is called a power. The 5 is the base, and the 3 is the exponent.
