What is the definition of a power

The video tutorial provides a quick overview of the concept of power in mathematics. It explains that a power consists of a base and an exponent, where the base is the number used as a factor, and the exponent indicates how many times the base is used. The tutorial includes examples such as 3 squared and 5 cubed, demonstrating how to simplify these expressions by multiplying the base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent.
