What is the base number of an exponent?
The base number of an exponant is the number that you are multiplying by. For example, 5 to the power of 2. multiply 5 by itself 2 times.
Why do we add exponents when we multiply terms with the same base?
When multiplying terms with the same base, we add the exponents because of the fundamental property of exponents that states (a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}). This property arises from the repeated multiplication of the base: for example, (a^m) represents multiplying the base (a) by itself (m) times, and (a^n) represents multiplying it (n) times. Therefore, when these two terms are multiplied, the total number of times the base (a) is multiplied is (m + n).
When multiplying with an exponent what do you do?
You multiply the base number by itself as many times as the exponent tells you. Example 4^4 =4•4•4•4= 256
Why add exponents when multiplying powers with same base?
When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents due to the properties of exponents that define multiplication. This is based on the idea that multiplying the same base repeatedly involves combining the total number of times the base is used. For example, (a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}) because you are effectively multiplying (a) by itself (m) times and then (n) times, resulting in a total of (m+n) multiplications of (a). This rule simplifies calculations and maintains consistency in mathematical operations involving exponents.
What is the multiple expressed by an exponent?
An exponent indicates how many times a number (base) should be multiplied by itself. For example, 2^3 means 2 x 2 x 2, which equals 8. So, the multiple expressed by an exponent is the result of multiplying the base number by itself the number of times specified by the exponent.

What is the answer to 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2?
The answer to 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 is 256. This can be calculated by multiplying 2 by itself 8 times, which equals 256. This can also be written as 2^8, where the exponent indicates the number of times the base (2) is multiplied by itself.
What is a number indicating how many times the base number is to be muliplied by itself?
An exponent.
