Simply tells you to 'multiply this number x times.' So 2^3= 2x2x2 or 8. The number you multiply is called the base and the little superscript number that tells you how many times to multiply the base is called an exponent or a power. So in 3^2 - 3 is
Make sure that the bases are the same. To multiply - add the exponents and multiply the coefficients - and to divide - subtract the exponents and divide the coefficients - 3x^25x^3=15x^5 and 15x^6/3x^2=5x^4
