An exponent is the number of times that a certain number is multiplied by itself. It is written as a small-sized number at the top right of the number.
In the example above, `5^2` is read as "5 to the power of 2" or "5 raised to 2".
Large numbers broken down into smaller forms is known as product form of numbers.
To find the product form of numbers let's say 47
47 is written in the product form as 47= 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
To express product from of the numbers by exponents we count that how many times the number multiplied by itself. That is the exponent of that number.
To find the exponent form of numbers let's say 32.
Write the product form of 32. 32= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2= 25.
Here 2 is multiplied by 5 times with itself. So that exponent is 5 and base is
given 2.
We get the exponent form is 25.
Let us find the prime factors of 128.
128= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 27
Here 2 is multiplied by 7 times with itself. So that exponent is 7 and base is given
2.
We get the exponent form is 27.
Let us find the prime factors of 32.
32= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2= 24
Here 2 is multiplied by 5 times with itself. So that exponent is 4 and base is given 2.
We get the exponent form is 24.
A square of number is the product of some integer with itself.
For example, 25 is a square number, since it can be written as 5 × 5.
Square of 35.
= (-35)2
= (-35) × (-35)
= 1225
A cube of number is just the number multiplied by 3 times with itself.
For example, to find cube of 3.
Cube of 3 is 3 times 3.
Cube of 3 = 3 × 3 × 3= 27.
We can express it in exponent form as 33
Find the cube of 25.
= (-25)3
= (-25) × (-25) × (-25)
= -15625
To find the value of 35.We can find the value of numbers given in exponent form by multiplying the base with itself as many times the exponent is given.
The group numbers of boxes are 3. In every group there are 4 boxes. So that base
is 4 and exponent is 3. We can write this in exponent form as 43.
The product form of 43= 4×4×4
We can read 43 as 4 raised to 3.
The value of 43= 4×4×4= 64
The group numbers of stars are 4. In every group there are 12 stars. So that base
is 12 and exponent is 4. We can write this in exponent form as 124.
The product form of 124= 12 × 12 × 12 × 12
We can read 124 as 12 raised to 4.
The value of 124= 12 × 12 × 12 × 12= 20736
Any number with an exponent of 0 (except 0) is equals to 1. So that x0 = 1.
Examples: 50= 1, 150= 1, 1230= 1, 1540=
1, 1200= 1
When base raised to the positive power value; x1= x
Examples: (10)1= 10, (15)1= 15, (124)1= 124 and
(-10)1= -10, (-15)1= -15, (-124)1= -124
(2/3)6
Here 2/3 is the base and 6 is exponent.
For (2/3)6 mean 2/3 is 6 times. So that,
(2/3)6= 2/3× 2/3 × 2/3× 2/3 × 2/3
×2/3= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 / 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3= 64/729
When base raised to the negative power value; x-1 = 1/x.
Examples: 5-6= 1/56, 4-3= 1/43, 7-5=
1/75
(12)-4
Here 12 is the base and -4 is exponent.
For (12)-4mean 1/ (12)4
(12)-4=1/ (12)4
=1/12 × 1/12 × 1/12 × 1/12= 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 / 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 = 1/ 20736
Volume of a cube= (side)3
Volume of a cube container = 93= 9×9×9= 729.
Volume of a cube container is 729 cubic inches.
The volume of kerosene in cubic inches
= 729 /3= 243 cubic inches
When we multiply the numbers having the same base, the base of the product remains the same and exponents are added to get the index of the product.
For example: 84× 85= 84+5=89
75×74
= (7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7)×( 7× 7 × 7 × 7)
= (7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7)
= the number 7, (5 + 4) times=79
So that, 75×74=79
(7/5)3×(7/5)8
= (7/5)3+8
= (7/5)11

There are 32 ways to complete the 2 documents in Part A. There are 32
ways complete the 2 documents in Part B. The number of ways to complete the project

The square of number is shown by writing the number with exponent 2.
Index ½ represents the square root of the number.
These are known as fractional indices.
Let us say square of 4, we will write as 42.
Now, if we want to write square root of 4, we will write as 41/2.
As well as the cube root of 8 is written as 81/3
How to read the numbers as fractional indices?

Hence, 162 = 256.
Conversely, 16 is the square root of 256.
Find the values of the following index numbers.
As you know If a is any rational number and m and n are any positive integers then
