It is a number multiplied by itself multiplied by itself multiplied by itself. So if you start with x, you end up with x*x*x*x.
A number a multiplied b times (so a x a is b=2, a x a x a is b=3, a x a x a x a is b = 4, and so on) is written as ab. Since 2 is multiplied 4 times, you have 24.
An exponent indicates how many times a number is multiplied by itself, so any number can be written with the exponent 1, just as 99 = 991. Since an exponent of 1 does not change the value of a number, it is not usually shown. A number with an exponent 2 is squared and with a 3 is cubed, for example 42 = 4 x 4 = 16 and 33 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27.
if there is something like 4x^2, then the 4 is the coefficient. It is the coefficient of the X. The squared part is the exponent. If something is just 2x, then the 2 is the exponent. It is the known number, the constant that is multiplied times the X.
Actually, a base and exponent are not multiplied together. Rather, the exponent indicates the "power" of the base number, the number of times the base is to be multiplied by itself. For example the expression 23, where the base is 2 and the exponent is 3, represents the product of 3 2s; that is, 2 x 2 x 2, equaling 8. Powers of zero are a special case. By convention, and to support exponent operations, any number (excepting zero) to the power of zero equals one. Therefore the number with a base of 34 and exponent of 0 is written as 340, and 340 = 1.
It is a number multiplied by itself multiplied by itself multiplied by itself. So if you start with x, you end up with x*x*x*x.
An exponent indicates how many time a number should be multiplied by itself. X1 just means 1 times X, X2 means X*X, X3 means X*X*X, X10 means X multiplied by itself 10 times. X0 is always 1.An exponent can also be negative.
62; or 3.6 X 10
The base is the large number, and is the number being multiplied; the exponent is the smaller number on the upper right, which says how many times the base is multiplied. 23 says that 2 is multiplied 3 times, so: 2 X 2 X 2. In this case, the base is 2, and the exponent is 3.
The exponent indicates how many times that number is multiplied by itself. For example, 5³ = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.
Let's say X is the exponent. The base is multiplied by itself X times.
6 x 6 x 6 or 6^3 = 216
With an exponent. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
If you have a base to an exponent, the exponent shows how many times the base is multiplied. 2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2
A number a multiplied b times (so a x a is b=2, a x a x a is b=3, a x a x a x a is b = 4, and so on) is written as ab. Since 2 is multiplied 4 times, you have 24.
An exponent indicates how many times a number is multiplied by itself, so any number can be written with the exponent 1, just as 99 = 991.

An exponent indicates how many times a number (base) should be multiplied by itself. For example, 2^3 means 2 x 2 x 2, which equals 8. So, the multiple expressed by an exponent is the result of multiplying the base number by itself the number of times specified by the exponent.
