Express the following products as powers. Indicate the base and index in each case.
a×a×a
Here a is multiplied 3 times
So, a×a×a=a3
In a3,ais the base and 3 is index.
Hence, the expression of above product in power is a3 and base and index is aand 3 respectively.
x×x×x×x
b×b×b×b×b
Group the like terms: a2,a÷3, 2a÷4a, 3a,a3, a÷2, 2a+a, a×a×a, 13a, a3.
