NC6EE1 Lesson 5 Flashcard Write/Evaluate Expressions With Exponents

Front

What is an exponent?

Back

An exponent is a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself. For example, in the expression 2^3, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning 2 is multiplied by itself 3 times (2 * 2 * 2).
