In the expression 4 to the power of 9, the number 9 is called the D. exponent.
Number four here is the base, and the exponent is always shown as a superscript to the right of the base. It shows how many times you are supposed to multiply the base by itself.
We are given the expression
5⁹ x 5³
We can solve this using the rule of exponents which is
a^n x a^m = a^(a + m)
Therefore, the answer is
to keep the base and add the exponents
5⁵⁺³ = 5⁸<span />
K = 10
I think. I’m not positive sure though. Hope this helped!
