The Powers of Numbers
A little exponent goes a long way!

You are correct. If the base is 3 and the exponent is 2, then the number is 32 = 3 × 3 = 9.
Now try this question. If b = 3 and n = 4, what does bnequal?
bn = 34 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81.
bn = 43 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64.
I don’t get this “b” and “n” business.
