The question is worded a bit strangely (in my opinion anyway), but I think your teacher wants you to describe how exponents work.
Let's say we had the expression 
The base is 5 as its the bottom most value (think of something like the base of a tree or building). The exponent is 3.
The exponent of 3 tells the reader to multiply the base 5 by itself 3 times like so

With larger exponents, it becomes more tedious to write out all the repeated multiplications, which is why many calculators have an exponent button to save time.
Answer:
It does not matter which color you add first because either way you will end up with the same color, purple. We can relate this to the commutative property of addition because blue + red = red + blue.
Pls mark it Brainliest!!!
Let r(cos O + i sin O) be a cube root of 125(cos 288 + i sin 288)
then
r^3(cos O + i sin O)^3 = 125(cos 288 + i sin 28)
so r^3 = 125 and cos 3O + i sin 3O = cos 288 + i sin 288
so r = 5 and 3O = 288 + 360p and O = 96 + 120p
so one cube root is 5 (cos 96 + i sin 96)
Im a little rusty at this stuff Its been a long time.
Im not sure of the other 2 roots
sorry cant help you any more
