Answer:
5 is the base
4 is the exponent.
5⁴ = 625
Explanation:
Given the general expression in indices;
[tex]a^n[/tex]a is known as the base of the expression
n is the exponent
Comparing with the given expression 5⁴, you will see that a = 5 and b = 4. Hence;
5 is the base
4 is the exponent.
5⁴ = 5 * 5 * 5 * 5
5⁴ = 25 * 25
5⁴ = 625
Hence the value of 5⁴ is 625
