An exponent is the power that a number is raised to. For instance, in the expression 3^2 ("three squared"), 2 is the "exponent" and 3 is the "base." A positive exponent just means that the power is a positive number. For instance, the following expression does not involve a positive exponent: 3^(-2). Horses rule!!!!!
An exponent is a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression. A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression. In the expression 4x^2 (four x squared) the four is the coefficient and the 2 is the exponent.
The exponent for a factor is the number of times that the factor appras in the multiplication. An exponent of 1 is not usually written out. So, 2*2*2*3*3*3*3*5 = 23*34*5
