Short Answer

Expert verified

The product $(1.7) (1.7)$ using an exponent is ${(1.7)}^{2}$

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 1.71.7using an exponent.

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

For: $(1.7) (1.7)$ , here base is 1.7 and multiplied 2 times.

In exponent form: $(1.7) (1.7) = {(1.7)}^{2}$
