Question

Raise 8 to the 5th power, then subtract the result from h. What would the expression be?

Answer 1

The equation would look like this:

h - 8⁵

To solve for the value of h.
It must be in standard form, where one side is equal to 0.

h - 8⁵ = 0
h = 8⁵
h = 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8
h = 32,768

The exponent above the number indicates the number of time its base will be multiplied by itself. In this case, the base will be multiplied 5 times.

To check: h = 32,768
h - 8⁵ = 0
32,768 - 32,768 = 0
0=0
