Base (Algebra)

Base in Equations

The term “base” typically refers to the number raised to a certain power in an exponential expression.

The base is the value multiplied by itself a certain number of times. In the general form $a^n$ , where $a$ is the base and $n$ is the exponent, $a$ is the number that is repeated.

Base Examples

In the expression $2^3$ , the base is 2, and the exponent is 3. So, is raised to the power of 3, which equals 2 x 2 x 2= 8

In $10^2$ , the base is 10, and the exponent is 2. This means 10 is multiplied by itself (), resulting in 100.

In $x^4$ , $x$ is the base, and the exponent is $4$ . This represents $x$ multiplied by itself four times $x \times x \times x\times x$ .
