Summary of Exponent Properties

An inventory specialist uses the expression 4^5 to determine the total number of items in a multi-level storage rack. Match each component of this mathematical expression to its correct description.

A quality control technician uses the expression 10^4 to represent the number of parts tested in a specific production batch. In this algebraic notation, what is the mathematical term for the number 4?

A manufacturing technician writes out the calculation 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 to verify the total count of a parts order. This way of writing a product, where every factor is shown individually, is called ____ notation.

A shipping coordinator is recording the storage volume of a warehouse section. Instead of writing out the repeated multiplication $8 \cdot 8 \cdot 8 \cdot 8$, the coordinator uses the compact form $8^4$. True or False: In mathematics, this compact way of writing a product is specifically called exponential notation.
