Write the exponents for the base given.
(1) 125 with 5 as base
(2) −343 with (−7) as base
(3) 32 with 2 as base
(4) 10,000 with (−10) as base
(5) −243 with (−3) as base
(1) 125 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 53
Thus, the exponent is 53
(2) −343 = (−7) × (−7) × (−7) = (−7)3
Thus, the exponent is (−7)3
(3) 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 25
Thus, the exponent is 25.
(4) 10000 = (−10) × (−10) × (−10) × (−10) = 104
Thus, the exponent is (−10)4.
(5) −243 = (−3) × (−3) × (−3) × (−3) × (−3) = (−3)5
Thus, the exponent is (−3)5.
