Basic concept of mathematical exponent

Basic concept of mathematical exponent represents the base A is raised to the power of n is equal to the mathematical multiplication of the base A up to n times

Aⁿ = A × A × ... × A … up to n times

Where, A is the base and n is the exponent.

For example,

2¹ = 2

2² = 2 × 2 = 4

2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

2⁴ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 

2⁵ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32
