Location of Exponent • An exponent is a little number high and to the right of a regular or base number. Exponent 3 4 Base
Definition of Exponent • An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by itself. Exponent 3 4 Base
What an Exponent Represents • An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by itself. 4 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 3
How to read an Exponent • This exponent is read three to the fourth power. Exponent 3 4 Base
How to read an Exponent • This exponent is read three to the 2nd power or three squared. Exponent 3 2 Base

A light year is the distance light travels in one year. The Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light years wide. Write 100,000 as a power with 10 as the base. 5 10
Growth Factor and Growth Rate Growth Factor – The constant factor that each value in an exponential pattern is multiplied by to get the next value Growth Rate – The percent increase in an exponential pattern.
