Final answer:
The student's question requires finding the missing factor in an exponential equation, which involves rules for cubing and multiplying exponentials, and ensuring the result is in standard form by adjusting the base and exponent accordingly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The query presented asks us to find the missing factor in exponential form. The equation given is not clear, but if we take 653 = 133.0 as an incorrect attempt to write an equation with an exponential, we'll assume that the goal is to understand how to work with exponential expressions. When working with exponentials, different operations have different rules. For example, when cubing exponentials, you cube the base number and multiply the exponent by 3. In contrast, when multiplying exponentials with the same base, you multiply the base numbers together and add their exponents. If the base is the same and we're only asked to multiply, then the exponents are added together.
To format results properly, we always aim to have the digit part in standard form, which is between 1 and 10. For example, if we obtained 0.452 in calculations, we'd convert it to 4.52 and adjust the exponent to reflect that change to keep the number in standard form.
