To determine the exponent in the exponential form of the expression (1/8)(1/8)(1/8), we need to multiply the bases together and count the number of times they are multiplied.
In this case, the base is (1/8), and it is being multiplied three times. Therefore, the exponent will be 3.
So, the exponential form of the expression (1/8)(1/8)(1/8) is (1/8)^3.

To find the exponent in the exponential form of the given expression (1/8)(1/8)(1/8), we need to understand that multiplying the same base with exponents means adding the exponents.
First, let's simplify the expression:
(1/8)(1/8)(1/8) = 1/512
Now, we need to express this as an exponent of a specific base.
We'll start by writing 1/512 as a fraction with a power of 2 as the denominator:
1/512 = 2^(-9)
Here, the exponent -9 represents the exponent in the exponential form.
