it is 262,144. you have to times 4 by itself 9 times to get the answer. 4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4
3 times itself (or 32) equals 9.
When you square a number, you multiply it by itself. So, 9 squared means 9 multiplied by 9, which equals 81. In mathematical notation, 9 squared is written as 9^2 or 9 x 9.
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?
