Question

What are exponents?

Answer 1

Define exponents.

The exponent of an integer indicates how many times that value should be multiplied by itself. An exponent is a number that is superscripted over another number.

For example:

$2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2=2^5$

Here, $2$ repeats $5$ times.

$2$ is called the base and $5$ is called the exponent or power.

Therefore, the exponent indicates how many times the base repeats itself.
