Why is the exponent important in an exponential term?

• The exponent is only used for addition in an exponential term

• The exponent is always equal to the base in an exponential term

• The exponent has no impact on the exponential term

• The exponent determines the number of times the base is multiplied by itself.

Billy was asked to solve 3⁵∙3⁴. He got 9²⁰. What error did he make?

• When he multiplies exponents, he is supposed to add the base and the exponent

• When he multiplies exponents, he is supposed to multiply the base and keep the exponents

• When he multiplies exponents, he is supposed to keep the base and add the exponents if the base is the same

• None of the above
