Question

Express the following number as directed: -243 in exponential form as a) base -3.

Answer 1

(-3)^5 is the exponential form of -243

Answer 2

Answer :

$- 243 = { - 3}^{5}$

- 243 in exponential form is -3^5

Explanation :

Given :

Express the following number as directed: -243 in exponential form as base -3.

$- 243 = { - 3}^{5}$

Here, -3 is known as base and 5 is known as exponent.

${ - 3}^{5} = - 3 \times - 3 \times - 3 \times - 3 \times - 3$

=> - 243.
