EXPONENTS
A power is the product of multiplying a number by itself.
5 Exponent Laws
Usually, a power is represented with a base number and an exponent. The base number tells what number is being multiplied. The exponent, a small number written above and to the right of the base number, tells how many times the base number is being multiplied.
For example, “6 to the 5th power” may be written as “6^5.” Here, the base number is 6 and the exponent is 5. This means that 6 is being multiplied by itself 5 times: 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6
There are several ways to read powers.
You can read 25 in the following ways:
two to the fifth
two to the exponent five
