is called the _____________ form of 8.
- Square
- Square root
- Cube
- Index

The correct answer is: Index
Step 1 of 1:
We have to fill the blank in the following sentence
is called the _____________ form of 8
8 = 2 × 2 × 2

Here, 2 is the base and 3 is the index/exponent.
So,
is the index form of 8.
A base is a number that we will repeatedly multiply to itself
