The exponent indicates the number of times the base is used as a factor.
An exponent means "this many times." So, 4 cubed (to the power of 3; a 3 exponent.) is 4 NOT times 3, but 3 TIMES. So it is 4x4x4(=64). Or, 5 to the power of 5 is 5 times itself 5 times, so, 5x5x5x5x5(=3,125). 3 to the power of 9 is 3 times itself 9 times. Basically, the exponent tells how many times you multiply the number by itself. Does that help?
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
9 cubes in exponent form = 93
It is: 21a exponent 6

An exponent indicates the power to which a number is to be raised. 9 = 91 9 x 9 = 92 9 x 9 x 9 93 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 94 ... and so on
3^2
An exponent tells how many times a number is used as a factor.
9^6
92=81
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
One billionth = 10-9
It is: 2^2 times 3^1 = 12
