Question

Choose the best definition for the following term: exponent.
*The number listed first when combining a variable and a number.
*The number or value being raised to a power.
*A letter that holds the place of some unknown value in mathematics.
*Shorthand that tells how many times the base is used as a factor, or how many times the base is multiplied by itself.

Answer 1

Helppppp!!!

Answer 2

Its not A because it does not talk about being "raised" to a number.
Its not B because the exponent is the super script, not base number.
Its not C because that is a Variable.
I believe its D because 5^2 would be 5 * 5. So when written out does represent How many times the base is multiplied by itself.
