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!!!!!
How do you write the number 625 using an exponent and base 5?

How do you convert scientific notation to decimal notation?
If the number in sci. notation has a positive exponent, move the decimal to the right the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 5.78 x 103 = 5780 If the exponent is negative, move the decimal to the left the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 2.945 x 10-5 = 0.00002945
What is the answer to 4x4x4x4x4 using index notation?
The expression 4x4x4x4x4 can be written in index notation as 4^5, where the base is 4 and the exponent is 5. When you raise a number to an exponent, it means multiplying the base by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent. Therefore, 4^5 is equal to 1024.
