Question

In representation of $2^n,n$ is known as:

• A. base
• B. exponent
• C. constant
• D. inverse

Answer 1

The correct option is B exponent

If n is a positive integer and x is any real number, then $x^n$ corresponds to repeated multiplication
$x^n=(x\times x\times .............\times x)\left[ntimes\right]$

We can call this “x raised to the power of n,” or “x to the power of n”. Here, x is the base and n is the exponent or the power.

In representation of $2^n$, 2 is the base and n is the exponent.
