An Exponent is a shorthand notation for repeated multiplication of the same factor. For instance: 5^4 actually means 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 625
Multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition because when you multiply two numbersÊit is equivalent to adding one of these two numbers to itself the number of times indicated by the second number. For example, 2 x 4 can be written in addition form as 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2. It can also be given as 4 plus 4.
2&8 4&4 16&1
y = x2 - 4x + 4 can be factored into y = (x-2)(x-2) The repeated factor is 2.
Multiplication by a positive integer can be considered as repeated addition. This can be extended to multiplication by fractions. Thus 3*4 = 4.1 + 4.1+ 4.1 (three lots of 4.1) = 12.3
Exponential notation is used to represent repeated multiplication of the same factor.
5 x 5 x 5 x 5
An Exponent is a shorthand notation for repeated multiplication of the same factor. For instance: 5^4 actually means 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 625
For counting numbers, multiplication can be considered a shorthand form of writing repeated additions. For example, 4 x 3 is the same as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3.
The exponential form of 2401 is 7^4. This is because 7 multiplied by itself 4 times equals 2401. In exponential form, the base (7) is raised to the power of 4 to represent the repeated multiplication.
Multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition because when you multiply two numbersÊit is equivalent to adding one of these two numbers to itself the number of times indicated by the second number. For example, 2 x 4 can be written in addition form as 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2. It can also be given as 4 plus 4.

Multiplication is shorthand for repeated addition, for example 5 × 4 is the same as 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 or 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4. Repeatedly adding a positive number to itself will result in a positive number.
As an exponent. For example, 2.3*2.3*2.3*2.3 = (2.3)4
In the simplest case (of a positive and integer exponent), it is defined as repeated multiplication. The exponent tells you how many times the factor must be multiplied with itself. As an example: 34 is the same as 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 i.e., the factor 3 appears 4 times as a factor.
Multiplication by a positive integer can be considered as repeated addition. This can be extended to multiplication by fractions. Thus 3*4 = 4.1 + 4.1+ 4.1 (three lots of 4.1) = 12.3
