    In the first segment of the lesson Exponents and Powers, we will understand the basics.

    What are Exponents?

    • An exponent refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself.
    • If a number A is multiplied by itself n times, then it is written as An and it is read as

    ‘A raised to the power of n’ or the ‘nth power of A’.

    • Here A is called the Base and n is called the Exponent.

    For example,

    3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 37.

    Here 3 is the base and the exponent is 7.

    It is read as ‘3 raised to the power of 7’ or ‘seventh power of 3’.
