Question

What is a exponent please don’t use the internet and don’t give me a wrong answer

Answer 1

Answer:

An exponent can be any small number, which is almost always in the top write corner of a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, 4(6). the 6 would be in the top right corner. This is an easier way of writing 4x4x4x4x4x4.

Answer 2

In math an exponent is what is used to express what a number is being "raised" to. For example $x^{2}$  has an exponent of 2 so that means that x is actually x multiplied by x. It is an easier way of writing math when you need to multiply by the same number. Another example could be $2^{5}$. This is saying 2 to the fifth power which is just

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 but having an exponent makes it easier to write in a math problem than multiplying two by two five consecutive times.

Hope this helps :)
