If we consider 2 raised to the power 3 i.e.,2^3,
then the number 2 is called the BASE and 3 is called the EXPONENT
IT means 2 is multiplied to itself 3 times

exponent-the no. of times a quantity is multiplied by itself
It could mean the base of a number system, such as decimal is base-10, or binary is base-2, or hexidecimal is base-16. Or it can refer to when a number has an exponent, like 23, 2 is the base, and 3 is the exponent. Or ex, where e represents the base of the natural logarithm. Here is another word 'base'. This is related to the base/exponent meaning.Another meaning for base is in solid geometry, such as a cylinder has a base (the circle part).
If you have ab then a is the base and b the exponent
10x 10 is Base & x is exponent
The zero exponent rule basically says that any base with an exponent of zero is equal to one. For example: x^0 = 1A negative exponent is equivalent to 1 over a positive exponent.x^1 = x x^0 = 1x^-1 = 1/x
