Exponent Names Math
.
Exponent names math. The exponent is usually shown as a superscript to the. The exponent 2 says to use the 8 two times in a multiplication another example. We go through examples for each of the rules in the video. 8 2 could be called 8 to the power 2 or 8 to the second power or simply 8 squared.
Exponents are also called powers or indices. An m a n m. In 82 the 2 says to use 8 twice in a multiplication so 82 8 8 64. When n is a positive integer exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base.
That is b n is the product of multiplying n bases. 2 3 2 2 3 2 2 6 2 2 2 2 2 2 64. Exponentiation is a mathematical operation written as b n involving two numbers the base b and the exponent or power n and pronounced as b raised to the power of n. The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
