The base \(a\) raised to the power of \(n\) is equal to the multiplication of \(a\), \(n\) times:
\(=\) \(a^n\), where \(a\) is the base and \(n\) is the exponent.
Example:
“\(3\) to the power \(4\)” may be written as .
Here, the base number is \(3\), and the exponent is \(4\). It means that \(3\) is being multiplied by itself \(4\) times: \(3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3\).
Where, \(3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3\) \(=\) \(81\) or \(= 81\).
