This document provides an overview of exponents and examples for solving them. Exponents tell how many times the base number is used as a factor. The exponent also represents the power of the base. Some examples are provided to show calculating 31, 33, -25, 62, 43, -53, 14, and 35. Practice problems are included for the reader to solve.

- 3. There is a shorter way to show multiplication when the factors are the same.In the example provided, 3 is the base and 2 is the exponent. The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor. The exponent also tells the power of the base. The answer 9 is the second power of 3. You can use other numbers as exponents. For example:31 = 3 (3 is the factor 1 time= 3)33 = 27 (3 is the factor 3 times= 3 X 3 X 3)Special Note: The product of two negative numbers is positive.-25 = -32 (-2 is the factor 5 times = -2 X -2 X -2 X -2 X -2)
