Question

Terri is rewriting 7 to the 13th power in expanded form. How many factors should she use in her expression?

Answer 1

13


Because the exponent is really just how many factors you have.
For example 2 to the power 5 would have 5 factors in expanded form.

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

Factors is a mathematical or statistical term that describes the numbers you multiply to get another number.

Hence, given that Terri should rewrite 7 to the 13th in expanded form,

Then, she should use 13 factors.

All 13 factors are the same thing . . . 7 .

7^13 should be written as 7¹³ .

Therefore: it works like this: 7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7

Hence, final answer is 13
