Back

625.

Front

Which is greater: 2⁷ or 7²?

Back

2⁷ (128) is greater than 7² (49).

Front

How do you convert from exponential form to expanded form?

Back

Multiply the base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent.

Front

What is the base in the expression 3⁴?

Back

The base is 3.

Front

What does the expression 10⁰ equal?

8, because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

Front

What is the difference between exponential form and standard form?

Back

Exponential form uses exponents (e.g., 5³), while standard form is the actual number (e.g., 125).
