i am assuming you mean a number with the exponent like this...
x2
x5
From my knowledge of math and calculus this just means that the x with the five means its the fifth point along that line or graph. It does not mean you numerically multiply that x by five or that x is to the fifth power. Just means its the second or fifth in the series of x's.
In this series of x's there is also a plain ol' "x" and "x3" and "x4". If you have a number you must have all the preceding numbers before it.
