ExponentsExponents can make your math problems a lot easier to handle. Simply put, it is a shortcut for multiplying numbers over and over again. Look at the following multiplication problem: 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 Instead of multiplying 8 six times,we can just write 86 and it will mean the same thing. When reading 86, we say eight to the sixth power or eight to the power of six. Other examples: 53 = 5 × 5 × 5 94 = 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 72 = 7 × 7 66 = 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 28 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 In general, yn = y × y × y × y ×...× y × y (n times)
