Vocabulary exponential form exponent base power
If a number is in exponential form, the exponent represents how many times the base is to be used as a factor. A number produced by raising a base to an exponent is called a power. Both 27 and 33 represent the same power. Exponent Base 7 2
4 • 4 • 4 • 4 = 44 Reading Math Read –(63) as “negative 6 to the 3rd power” or “negative 6 cubed”. Additional Example 1: Writing Exponents Write in exponential form. A. 4 • 4 • 4 • 4 Identify how many times 4 is a factor. B. (–6) • (–6) • (–6) Identify how many times –6 is a factor. (–6) • (–6) • (–6) = (–6)3
