What is an exponment?

Answer 1

An exponent is a small number above a numeral or letter that indicates how many times you should multiply a number by itself. For example 23=2x2x2=8

Most scientific calculators will do this for you if you press 2 ^ 3 =

or on some other calculators 2 and then a button that says x^3

Answer 3

An exponent is a mathematical notation and shorthand instructing the mathematician to multiply the base number by the same number again, as many times as instructed by the exponent.

Exponents are formed like this:

Base Number: 34 - Exponent or Power

Following the definition of the exponent, you must multiply the base number by the same number again as many times as instructed by the exponent:

So 34 is telling you that you need to multiply 3 - 4 times.

3 x 3 x 3 x 3

3 x 3 = 9 x 3 = 27 x 3 = 81

There we'd say that:

34 = 81

It takes up more room on a piece of paper and is generally frowned upon in mathematics (minus beginning mathematics of course).
