Question 94556: This is a table so it's tricky typing out in words...
There are 4 rows and 4 columns, and I need to fill in the blanks.
The first column is labeled POWER. The first row in the first column says 2^5.
The fourth row in the first column says r^8. The second column is labeled BASE. The second row in the the second column says 3. The third column is labeled EXPONENT. The second row in the third column says 4. The fourth column is labeled STANDARD FORM. The third row in the fourth column says 125.

phew...
Okay, if you understood that, and if I'm correct, the entire first row should read: 2^5, 2, 5, 32. The second row should read: 3^4, 3, 4, 81. I have no idea about the third row. The last row should read: r^8, r, 8, r^8?
I'm really sorry that was so long and confusing, but I just can't get that third row!

Here's where "a picture is worth a thousand word" n'est-ce pas?
Anyway, I get the picture! (lol)

You are correct for rows 1, 2, and 4. The third row is shown below:
2%5E5: Base = 2 Exponent = 5 2%5E5+=+32
3%5E4: Base = 3 Exponent = 4 3%5E4+=+81
5%5E3: Base = 5 Exponent = 3 5%5E3+=+125
r%5E8: Base = r Exponent = 8 r%5E8+=+r%5E8
