Exponential Notation in Algebra
Exponential notation is a concise mathematical method used to represent a number or variable that is repeatedly multiplied by itself. It consists of two parts: a base and an exponent. The base is the quantity being multiplied, and the exponent, written as a superscript, indicates the exact number of times the base is used as a factor. For example, in the expression , the exponent tells us how many times we use the base as a factor, condensing the expanded form into a shorter notation.
