Exercise 15 Page 7

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

9^2

Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power. 9* 9

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. 9* 9_(2times) We can see that the number 9 is used two times as a factor. Therefore, we have 9 in the base and 2 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a power! 9* 9= 9^2
