Solution


\begin{gathered} 125=5^3 \\ \text{That means the 5}^3\text{ is the exponential form of 125} \\ 5\text{ is the base } \\ 3\text{ is the exponential} \end{gathered}

Then for

Note : The base must always be positive


\begin{gathered} y=a.b^x \\ a\text{ is a constant} \\ b\text{ is the base } \\ x\text{ is expontent } \\ \text{where a}\\e0,\text{ b}>0\text{ , b}\\e1\text{ and x is real number} \\ \\ \\ \text{Now for this} \\ -8^(10) \\ \text{the base is 8} \end{gathered}
