i am assuming you mean a number with the exponent like this...
x2
x5
From my knowledge of math and calculus this just means that the x with the five means its the fifth point along that line or graph. It does not mean you numerically multiply that x by five or that x is to the fifth power. Just means its the second or fifth in the series of x's.
In this series of x's there is also a plain ol' "x" and "x3" and "x4". If you have a number you must have all the preceding numbers before it.

Can you have more than one exponent on top of a number?
Yes, you can, but it starts getting complicated. You can, for example have a number raised to an exponent that is itself a number raised to an exponent, or you can have a number raised to an exponent and the result raised to another exponent.

Because a number to the exponent 0 = 1 and any lesser exponent decreases the value.
