Exponents describe mathematical operations that can also be written in other ways (although not necessarily in the form of an equation). For example, 103 can also be written as 10 x 10 x 10. The exponent is more succinct. When you get to a number such as 10100 then the exponent is much more succinct. But you could still write it out if you wanted to.

Why are numbers expressed using exponents called powers?
Because exponent is the same as power.
Is 0 the same as an equation with no solution?
I understand why you ask...but the answer is no.As a mathematical object, zero is an integer -- a number. As such, zero could easily be a SOLUTION to an EQUATION. But it's not the same as an equation. An equation is a different kind of mathematical object entirely.It's probably a good idea to try looking at zero not as "nothing", but as something: the middle point between positive and negative numbers.
What do you do with the exponents when your adding the bases of the number?
nothing, keep the exponents the same, remember you can only add or subtract when the exponents are the same
When adding numbers with fraction exponents do you add the exponents?
Fractional exponents follow the same rules as integral exponents. Integral exponents are numbers raised to an integer power.
Where can you use exponents?
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.
