Exponential Expressions and Evaluations

"Five to the third power" is expressed as 5^3, which evaluates to 125 (5 x 5 x 5).
"Six to the third power" is expressed as 6^3.
"Seven to the fourth power" is expressed as 7^4.

Writing Exponents

The variable x squared is written as x^2.
The product of 3a taken three times is represented as (3a)^3.
"r" repeated five times is expressed as r^5.

Combining Base and Exponents

"Five repeated three times and b repeated four times" is written as 5^3b^4.
For the expression combining 10, a, and b, it is expressed as 10^2a^2b.

Expanded Forms

"Four repeated three times and a, b repeated twice" is written as 4^3a^2b^2.
The number 5 squared can be represented in expanded form as 5 x 5.
The expanded form of (-2) cubed is shown as (-2)(-2)(-2).
The number 10 raised to the fourth power can be expressed as (10)(10)(10)(10).
The expression for (-a) cubed is represented as (-a)(-a)(-a).

Importance of Parentheses

Parentheses are crucial to indicate multiplication when expressing expanded forms.
Clarifying negative bases requires parentheses for accurate representation in exponents.
