• 3

• 15

• 125

Multiple Choice

What is the base?

• It is the number that is repeatedly multiplied

• It is the small number written above

• It is the number that tells how many times a number is used as a factor

• It is the value of the power

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

What should we do to evaluate $$5^3$$  ?

• 5x3

• 3x3x3x3x3

• 5x5x5

• 5+5+5

• 5+3

Multiple Choice

How can we evaluate a power?

• We add the base and the exponent

• We multiply repeatedly the base by itself

• We multiply the base by the exponent

• We multiply the exponent by itself

We can use an exponent to write repeated multiplication of a number.

​

The number that is being repeatedly multiplied is the base.​

​

The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor. ​

​

A number that can be written using exponents is called a power.​

Multiple Choice

How to evaluate $$3^3$$  ?

• We multiply 3x3

• We multiply 3 by itself 3 times
