Question

in 1 - 3, write the base number for each expression. 1. $5^{12}$ 2. $1.2^{2}$ 3. $(\frac{1}{3})^{4}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall base - exponent concept

In an exponential expression \(a^n\), \(a\) is the base and \(n\) is the exponent.

Step2: Find base for \(5^{12}\)

For the expression \(5^{12}\), the base is 5.

Step3: Find base for \(1.2^{2}\)

For the expression \(1.2^{2}\), the base is 1.2.

Step4: Find base for \((\frac{1}{3})^{4}\)

For the expression \((\frac{1}{3})^{4}\), the base is \(\frac{1}{3}\).

Answer:

1. 5
2. 1.2
3. \(\frac{1}{3}\)
