Question

Write 'base' and 'exponent' in each of the following:

(i) ${\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)}^{-7}$

Answer 1

Writing the ‘base’ and the ‘exponent’ in the following

'Base Number or base' is defined as a number which is multiplied by itself, whereas the ‘exponent’ represents the number of times the base number is multiplied.

for example $a^m$, here $a$ is bade number and $m$ is exponent

Therefore in ${\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)}^{-7}$ base is $\frac{1}{5}$ and exponent is $-7$.
