What is Exponents values?

Exponents were invented as a quick way to show that you are multiplying a number by itself several times.

It's too much trouble to write something like

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 Using exponents, we can simply write

36 This expression means "3 multiplied by itself 6 times."

In this example, 6 is the exponent and 3 is the base. Notice that the exponent is written as a superscript (meaning it is higher than the other numbers); it is also to the right of the base.

When you're reading this expression out loud, you say "3 to the power 6," "3 to the 6th power," or just "3 to the 6th."

Tips for Using Exponents

Tip 1: If the exponent is 0, the result is always 1. (Also see Tip 5.)

20 = 1

290 =1

10 = 1

Tip 2: If the exponent is 1, the result is always the base number.

21 = 2

291 = 29

11 = 1

01 = 0

Tip 3: If the base is 0, the result is always 0. (Also see tip 5.)

02 = 0

01000 = 0

Tip 4: If the base is 1, the result is always 1.

12 = 1

11000 = 1

Tip 5: 00 doesn't mean anything. This is the only exception to Tips 1 and 3.
