Explanation:
"An" color(blue)" exponent"An exponent is used whenever numeric or algebraic values are being multipliedcolor(blue)"repeatedly".repeatedly.
"That is " 2xx2xx2=2^(color(red)(3))larr" numeric values"That is 2×2×2=23← numeric values The exponent is
color(red)(3)3 since 2 is being multiplied by itself 3 times.
rArr5xx5xx5xx5=5^(color(red)(4))⇒5×5×5×5=54
"and " x xx x xx x=x^(color(red)(3))larr" algebraic values"and x×x×x=x3← algebraic values
rArr2xx x xx x xxyxxy=2x^2y^2⇒2×x×x×y×y=2x2y2
