exponents can be found in math formulas and wen multiplying the same number. exponents can be found in math formulas and wen multiplying the same number.
Exponents can simplify very ugly math problems and their relation to logarithms makes them invaluable. FYI logarithms were invented before exponents.

Exponents did not change math, per se, math has always been the same. But the use of them has changed the way math is done. It has allowed mathematic formulas to be shortened and simplified.
It depends what kind of math problem it is
In a multiplication problem with exponents, one should not multiple the exponents. Rather, it would be correct to multiply the numbers while adding the exponents together.
Depends on the type of math problem. there's usually an equation to see if there is a solution or not.
power in a math term is when you multiply the exponents
