NAME DATE PERIOD aS Study Guide and Intervention Powers and Exponents Use Exponents A number that is expressed using an exponent is called a power. The base is the number that is multiplied. The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor. So, 4° has a base of 4 and an exponent of 3, and 4° = 4-4-4 = 64, base ——+ 4° «—— exponent Y * power Any number, except 0, raised to the zero power is defined to be 1 wai 2 GETTY’ Write each expression using exponents. a. 10+10- 10-10-10 =1 ge=1 41 B= walx #0 The base is 10.
