define exponent and power
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
In mathematics, you might have noticed superscript, i.e. a little digit that is placed above and to the right of any number. The large the number is the difficult is to read, compare and operate and due to this reason, superscripts are used to convert larger numbers into the smallest form. This is done with the help of powers and exponents, that are the basic concept of mathematics but are also juxtaposed by many students. Exponents represent the number of times the base is multiplied.
Exponents and power.
The power of number indicates the number of times it must be multiplied.Generally form :- aᵐ[where a is base and m is exponent] For example- 10² ,here 10 is the base and 8 is the exponent.
Points.
- power with negative exponents a-ᵐ = .Where a= 0.
- Laws of exponents = (for any zero integer a, b; the laws here are again.
- aᵐ+ aⁿ = aᵐ+ⁿ Example- 2²× 2² = 2²+²=2⁴.
