Identify Base and Multiplication: Identify the base and the number of times it is being multiplied.In the expression (−3)5(−3), the base is −3 and it is being multiplied by itself a total of 5 times in the first term, and then one more time with the additional (−3).
Add Number of Multiplications: Add the number of times the base is being multiplied.Since the base −3 is multiplied by itself 5 times and then one more time, we add 5+1 to get the total number of times −3 is being multiplied by itself.5+1=6
Write in Exponential Notation: Write the expression in exponential notation.The base −3 multiplied by itself a total of 6 times can be written in exponential notation as (−3)6.
