Question

State the base of the exponent 10 in the expression -8^10The base of the exponent 10 is ?

Answer 1

Solution

$\begin{gathered} 125=5^3 \\ \text{That means the 5}^3\text{ is the exponential form of 125} \\ 5\text{ is the base } \\ 3\text{ is the exponential} \end{gathered}$

Then for

Note : The base must always be positive

$\begin{gathered} y=a.b^x \\ a\text{ is a constant} \\ b\text{ is the base } \\ x\text{ is expontent } \\ \text{where a}\ne0,\text{ b}>0\text{ , b}\ne1\text{ and x is real number} \\ \\ \\ \text{Now for this} \\ -8^{10} \\ \text{the base is 8} \end{gathered}$
