If you have a real number,a, and raise it to a power b we say a^b is a times itself b times. That is to say aaaaaaaa...aaa b times. a is the base and b is the exponent. So if b is an integer,... -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3... ,then we have an integral exponent. Examples are 2^5 and 2^-3. An example that is NOT an integral exponent is 2^(1/2) since 1/2 is not an integer.

It means that the exponent is a whole number, for example 3, 0, or -5.

Yes, 25 CAN BE and exponent. Any number can be and exponent
The exponent is a characteristic of a number. A measurement unit does not have an exponent. Since a metre is a measurement unit, it does not have an exponent.
you get an exponent when you multiply EXAMPLE 10x10x10=1000 that is an exponent NO DONT THINK THAT IF THE EXPONENT IS 3 YOU MULTIPLY IT BY 3 NO WAY JOSE
written with an exponent
The exponent of 11 is 1.
