Answer 8

Ah!

So, let me show you an example first!

\(\bf\Large a^4 = \underbrace{a\times a\times a\times a}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~4\)

Answer 9

How did u get that 4 on the bottom

Answer 10

a^4 means multiplying a by itself 4 times!

Answer 11

The four on the bottom is not division! It's trying to show you that a is being multiplied by itself 4 times!

Answer 12

\(\bf \Large base^{exponent}\)

\(\bf \Large 8^5\)

8 is the base, and 5 is the exponent.
