Short Answer

Expert verified

The product $2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2$ using an exponent is $2^{4}$

Step by step solution

– Explanation of the exponent formula

$a^{x} \to$ a is the base and x is exponent.

The power is the result of repeated multiplication of the same factor.

The expressionsa^xthis means that a has been used as a factor x times.

Write the product 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 in exponent.

Example: Write the product $3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3$ in exponent.

Rule: $a^{x} \to$ a is called base and x is power.

For $3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3$ , the base a = 3 and multiplied by 4 times.

In repeated multiplication: $3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3$ in exponent form $3^{4}$

Write the product 2·2·2·2 using an exponent.

Rule: $a^{x} \to$ a is called base and x is power.

For: $2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2$ , here base is 2 and multiplied 4 times.

In exponent form: $2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 2^{4}$
