Exercise 2 Page 4

An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor.

6^6

Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power. 6* 6* 6* 6* 6* 6

To do so, we should identify the base and the exponent. An exponent is the count of times a number, called a base, is used as a factor. Let's look for both of them in the given product. 6* 6* 6* 6* 6* 6_(6times) We can see that the number 6 is used 6 times as a factor. Therefore, we have 6 in the base and 6 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a power! 6* 6* 6* 6* 6* 6= 6^6
