An exponent is used to indicate that a number is multiplied by itself a specified number of times. For example, to multiply 4 by itself 9 times, you would write 49.
To square a number you multiply it by itself, to cube a number you then multiply itself twice! i.e. 3 times 3 is 9 and 9 times 3 is then 27 so 27 is 3 cubed
it means to multiply the number by it self
No, you multiply it by itself, eg 62 = 36
Exponent
You take a number and multiply it by itself three times.
A number "to the power" of another number means to multiply the first number by itself however many times the second number is. Example: 43, 4 to the power of 3, means multiply 4 by itself 3 times: 4x4x4=64
