Exercise 25 Page 7

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

167^3

Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given product as a power. 167* 167* 167

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. 167* 167* 167_(3times) We can see that the number 167 is used three times as a factor. Therefore, we have 14 in the base and 3 in the exponent. With that in mind, let's write our product as a67power! 167* 167* 167= 167^3
