Question

Write an expression, using an exponent, equivalent to 5x5x5x5

Answer 1

`5^(4)`

Explanation:

We use exponents to simplify long multiplication. The number of the exponent stands for how many of the number you have.

Because we have 4 5s, the exponent is 4.

Something like 5x5x5 would be
`5^(3)`, because there are 3 5s.
