Question from Alina, a student: My question says to express each number in exponent form in as many different ways as I can; 16, 81 and 64. How do I do this? |
Hi Alina,
Let me try 125. I think this is what is expected.
$125 = 5 \times 5 \times 5$ and hence you can write
$125 = 5^0 \times 5^3$
$125 = 5^1 \times 5^2$
$125 = 5^1 \times 5^1 \times 5^1$
