Before I address the question, allow me to cover over what exponents are and how they work since the entirety of the question contain something related to exponents.
Speaking as if exponents are new to you.
Whenever you see a number you would usually see a smaller number on the top right. This is called an exponent, an exponent is basically the number times the number it is attached to.
For instance, [tex] 2^3 [/tex]
2 * 2 * 2 = 8
To address your question,
Apply the knowledge above to this content.
A) [tex] 4*4*4*4*4*4*4 = 16384[/tex]
D) [tex] 8 * 8 * 8 = 512 [/tex]
G) [tex] 17 * 17 = 289 [/tex]
J) [tex] 10 * 10 * 5 = 500 [/tex]
M) [tex]2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2 = 1024[/tex] 2 to the power of 10 basically means 10 is the exponent, this is the written way of displaying this.
To summarize
- Exponents are the numbers you would multiply
- Let's say we had [tex] 2^3 [/tex] we would simply do 2*2*2 to find the answer
- "the power of" is the written way of expressing exponents
