Answer:
1) Base - 5
2) Base - 1.2
3) Base - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find : Write the base number for each expression ?
Solution :
Base number is defined as the number written in exponent form [tex]a^n[/tex]
which tells you to multiply a by itself, so a is the base of power n.
1) [tex]5^{12}[/tex]
In number [tex]5^{12}[/tex] the base is 5 as the power is 12.
2) [tex]1.2^{2}[/tex]
In number [tex]1.2^{2}[/tex] the base is 1.2 as the power is 2.
3) [tex](\frac{1}{3})^{2}[/tex]
In number [tex](\frac{1}{3})^{2}[/tex] the base is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] as the power is 4.
