Question

Write the base,exponent and their value of the following

1. 2 raise to the power minus 9 is equal to 1/512

Answer 1

`2^(-9) = \frac1{512}`

Explanation:

2 is the base, -9 is the exponent, and 1/512 is their value.

`a^n = v`

where a (= 2) is the base, n (= -9) is the exponent, and v (= 1/512) is the value.

Substituting for a, n and v:

`2^(-9) = \frac1{512}`
