Problem 16
Question
Write the expression in exponential form. \(b\) to the eighth power
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
\(b^8\)
1Step 1: Recognize 'to the power of'
The term 'to the power of' is an instruction to raise a number or variable to a certain exponent. The base is the number or variable which is being raised to a power, and the exponent is the number that the base is being raised to.
2Step 2: Write in exponential form
In this case, 'b' is the base and 8 is the power to which it is raised. So, the exponential form is written as \(b^8\).
3Step 3: Finalize and check
Check to ensure that the answer reads correctly in accordance with the initial verbal expression. Indeed, \(b^8\) is 'b to the eighth power.'
