Answer:

2 would be the base

7 would be the exponent.

Explanation:

Lets take some examples to understand the concept of base and exponent.

The rules are the same for both alphabets and numbers.

Check this :

W * W = W ^ 2

W is the base

2 is the exponent

Y * Y * Y * Y = Y^4

Y is the base

4 is the exponent

7 * 7 = 7^2

7 is the base

2 is the exponent

9 * 9 * 9 * 9 = 9^4

9 is the base

4 is the exponent

I trust you understand the pattern now!

Let's attack the question:

2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 ^ 7

2 would be the base

7 would be the exponent.

Math is fun
