exponents
Answered by GPT 3.5
An exponent is a mathematical notation used to indicate the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. It is written as a superscript to the right of the base number. For example, in the expression 2^3, the base number is 2 and the exponent is 3, indicating that 2 is multiplied by itself 3 times. This results in 2 x 2 x 2 = 8. Exponents are used in many mathematical operations, including multiplication, division, and power functions.
