5×5×d×5×d×5×d





Part A

The exponent for 5 is






Part B

The exponent for d is

Answer 1

To rewrite the expression \( 5 \times 5 \times d \times 5 \times d \times 5 \times d \) using exponents, let's count the occurrences of each base.

### Part A
For the base 5:
- The number 5 appears 4 times in the expression.

Thus, the exponent for 5 is:

\[
\text{Exponent for 5} = 4
\]

### Part B
For the base d:
- The variable d appears 3 times in the expression.

Thus, the exponent for d is:

\[
\text{Exponent for d} = 3
\]

### Final Expression
Putting this together, the expression can be written as:

\[
5^4 \times d^3
\]

So, to summarize:
- Part A: The exponent for 5 is \(4\).
- Part B: The exponent for d is \(3\).
