Question

In $5^7$, the base is __ and the exponent is __.

Answer 1

In exponential form, the base is the number that repeats itself and the exponent is the number that tells how many times the base repeats itself.

For example In $7^4$, $7$ is the base and $4$ is the exponent and $7$ is repeated $4$ times.

Hence, In $5^7$, the base is $5$ and the exponent is $7$.
