Explain exponents and power.

Power and exponent :

An expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor is called a power.

For example,

$3\times 3 = 9 =  3^2 $

The exponent corresponds to the number of times the base is used as a factor.

Here, the whole $3^2$ is called power, 3 is the base, and 2 is the exponent. $$
