it means that you multiply that number by it's self as many times as the exponent says

ex: 6 7 is 6x6x6x6x6x6x6=279936

Write a power and label the base and the exponent?

This question is actually very simple- but it's worded in a way that might seem confusing. It's just asking you to write down any old number to some power, and then to say which number is called the base, and which the exponent. 23 is a "power." The 2 is the base, and 4 is the exponent. It means "2 times 2 times 2". The exponent is the number in smaller font, that tells you how many of the base number to multiply together. 2795834 is also a power, that's the same as multiplying 95834 27's together.


Meanning of positive exponent?

An exponent is the power that a number is raised to. For instance, in the expression 3^2 ("three squared"), 2 is the "exponent" and 3 is the "base." A positive exponent just means that the power is a positive number. For instance, the following expression does not involve a positive exponent: 3^(-2). Horses rule!!!!!


In powers and exponents what does standard form mean?

It means the number form of the exponent.


What is the LCM of 6p2q3r4 and 14pq2r3?

The lcm of 6p^2 q^3 r^4 and 14pq^2 r^3? 1. Prime factor 6 and 14 2. Write the prime factorization using exponents 3. Write each same base number with the highest exponent. 4. Write each single base number(number without exponent) 5. Multiply the numbers *For monomials only* 6. Choose highest exponent for each variable 7. Write each variable with its exponent in alphabetical order (ex. 24a*bc*) (a variable that doesn't appear to have an exponent, has an automatic exponent of 1) LCM=42p^2 q^3 r^4
