Write each product in exponential form.
16 × 16 × 16 × 16 × 16
a.5^16
b.16^5
c.16^6
d.16^4
my answer 16^5
16^5, right!
16^5 is the correct answer or letter b
To write the product 16 × 16 × 16 × 16 × 16 in exponential form, you need to determine the base and the exponent. Since all the factors are 16, the base will be 16. The exponent will be the number of times 16 is multiplied, which in this case is 5 (there are 5 factors of 16 being multiplied together).
So, the correct exponential form is 16^5. Therefore, your answer of 16^5 is correct (option b).
