the tiny raised
number is called the
exponent. It tells us
base how many times the
base number is
multiplied by itself.
11. Math - Exponents (page 82)
The expression 25 is read "two raised to
the fifth power, "two to the fifth
power," or even just "two to the fifth."
Any base raised to the exponent 1 equals
the base. So 21 = 2.
Any base, except 0, raised to the
exponent 0 equals 1. So 20 = 1.
