Question

Write five cubed in all three forms: exponential form, expanded form, and standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Exponential form: 5^3

Expanded form: 5*5*5

Standard form: 125

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential form is when we use the ^ symbol. The base is the number before the ^ and the exponent is the number after the ^. When five is cubed, the base is 5 and the exponent is 3.

Therefore, the exponential form is 5^3. We can also write it with a little 3 on the top right corner of the 5, that is $5^3$.

On the expanded form we use multiplications. The exponent number tells us how many times to multiply the base number by itself. When 5 is the base and 3 the exponent, we have to multiply 3 times the number 5 by itself. That is 5*5*5.

The standard form is the result of the calculations we wrote before. The easiest way is to get it from the expanded form.

5*5*5 = 25*5 = 125
