Vocabulary• 46 Base Exponent
The exponent is sometimes referred to as
the power.
What is the meaning of 46 ?• 46 means to multiply the base 4 by itself 6 times.
The meaning of the exponent:
•1.) 46 = 4•4•4•4•4•4
•2.) 43 = 4 • 4 • 4•3.) 41 = 4•4.) 40 = ?
The meaning of the exponent:
•4.) 40 = 1
If 8/4 = 2, then we can say that 23/ 22 = 21. So if 4/4 = 1,we can say that 22/ 22 = 20, therefore 20 must EQUAL 1.
•5.) 4-1 = 1/4
