Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential notation is composed of a base and an exponent. It is a “shorthand” way of writing repeated multiplication, and indicates that the base is a factor and the exponent is the number of times the factor is used in the multiplication. The basic rules of exponents are as follows:

· An exponent applies only to the value to its immediate left.

· When a quantity in parentheses is raised to a power, the exponent applies to everything inside the parentheses.

· For any non-zero number n, n0 = 1.

· For any non-zero number n and any integer x, n –x = .
