Answer 1

Given x^y

x is the base

y is the exponent

You need to multiply the base as many times as the number in the exponent.

2^7 = 2⁷ = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2 = 128

6^1 = 6¹ = 6

11^0 = 11⁰ = 1 (any number to the power of 0 is equal to 1).

7^2 = 7² = 7*7 = 49

8^3 = 8³ = 8*8*8 = 512

Answer 2

Think about what the definition of an exponent is. It is the number of times that the base is a factor. A factor is a number or expression that is multiplied. If the exponent is 0, then the answer is ALWAYS 1.

So . . .

2⁷ = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = ?(you can figure out this)?

6¹= 6

11⁰ = 1

7² = 7 x 7 = ?(I'll bet you know this)?



8³ = 8 x 8 x 8 = ?(you can figure out this)?
