Consider the expression 6 x 6 x 6 x 6. What is the base and what is the exponent?
The base is 6 and the exponent is 4.
6 x 6 x 6 x 6 has no exponent,
you have to change it to 6^4
before we can label the base as 6, and the exponent as 4
You are correct. The expression 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 can be simplified to 6^4, and in that case, the base is 6 and the exponent is 4. Thank you for the correction!
In the expression 6 x 6 x 6 x 6, the number 6 is the base, and the exponent is 4. We can determine this by understanding the rules of exponential notation.
In general, exponential notation is a way to represent repeated multiplication of a number by itself. The base is the number being multiplied repeatedly, while the exponent represents how many times the base is multiplied by itself.
In this case, the number 6 is being multiplied by itself four times, so the base is 6, and the exponent is 4.
