EXPONENTS

      Exponents is defined as the method of expressing large numbers in terms of powers . That means, exponents refers to how many time a number multiplied by itself . For example 5 is multiplied by itself by 6 times , i.e. 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 . This can be written as 5⁶ here, 6 is the exponent and 5 is the base .  Exponent symbol         The symbol used for representing the exponent is ^. This symbol (^) is called a carrot. For example, 6 raised to 3 can be written as 6^3 or 216. Thus, 6^3 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216. some example .,        4×4×4 = 4³  .... Here 4 is the base and 3 is exponent .      3×3×3×3×3 = 3⁵   ...... Here 3 is the base and 5 is exponent.  Exponent Laws  1. Multiplication law :  If base are same then add thier exponents and calculate ex.,       3² × 3⁴ here base is same and their exponents are different so, first add the exponents  ...
