Algebra I / Chapter 6: Exponentiation / Introduction
Introduction
In this chapter, we explore exponentiation.
Exponentiation involves multiplying a number by the same number many times. The superscript tells us how many times to multiply the number. For example,
23 = 2*2*2 = 8
This operation is also called "2 to the power of 3" or "2 to the 3rd power." 2 is the base and 3 is the power.
