copyright©amberpasillas Base Exponent This exponent is read 8 to the 3rd power, or 8 cubed.
copyright©amberpasillas Base Exponent An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by itself.
copyright©amberpasillas Base Exponent This exponent means 888 = 512
copyright©amberpasillas2010 This exponent is read six to the fourth power. 6 4 Base Exponent
copyright©amberpasillas2010 This exponent is read three to the 2 nd 2 nd power or three squared. 3 2 Base Exponent
copyright©amberpasillas2010 Read These Exponents 7 7 to the 2 nd power or 7 squared 2
Read These Exponents to the 3 rd power or 10 cubed 3
