Identify the base: 3^2
3
If multiplication is repeated addition, an exponent is defined as this type of operation.
repeated multiplication
The exponential shorthand for 8 x 8 x 8
8^3
The simplified value of 3^2
9
In the expression 5^2, this is the name given to the small, raised number 2.
2
To solve an exponent, this part tells you exactly how many times to multiply the base by itself.
exponent
he exponential shorthand for a string of nine 9s multiplied together 9 times
9^9
The simplified value of 2^3
8
The entire expression $5^2$—the combination of both the base and the exponent—is known by this term.
Power
The value of any non-zero number raised to an exponent of 1, such as the problem 6^1$
Base
The exponential shorthand for a string of nine 64s multiplied together 4 times
64^4
The simplified value of 6^2
36
Writing out 5 x 5 instead of 5^2 shows the number in this specific form.
Expanded Form
This is the expanded form of the expression 3^2
3 x 3
he exponential notation for 3 x 3 x 3, which simplifies to 27
3^3
he simplified value of 4^3
64
the symbol ^ used to type an exponent is often called this
carrot or caret
his is the expanded form of the expression 2^5
2 x 2 x 2 x 2
The exponential notation for 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
10^5
