Answer Key:

1. An exponent is a number that shows how many times a base number is multiplied by itself.

2. Base: 2. Exponent: 5.

3. Another way to write 2^3 is 8.

5. The rule for multiplying two powers with the same base is to add the exponents.

6. (5^5)

7. The result when a power with an exponent of 0 is multiplied by any number is 1.

8. 1/16.

9. The rule for dividing two powers with the same base is to subtract the exponents.

11. Exponents and roots are inverse operations. If a number is raised to an exponent, taking the root with the same index will undo the operation.

13. The value of a number becomes smaller as its exponent becomes more negative.

14. 0.375.

15. The power of a power property states that when a power is raised to another power, the exponents are multiplied.
