New Knowledge:
An exponent is a number that tells how many times a base is used as a factor.

Base^Exponent

For example: 2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

The following rules apply to numbers with exponents 0, 1, 2, and 3.
▫ Any number (except 0) raised to the zero power is equal to 1. Ex. 1490 = 1
▫ Any number raised to the first power is always equal to itself. Ex. 81 = 8
▫ If a number is raised to the second power, we say it is squared. Ex. 32 is read as three squared
▫ If a number is raised to the third power, we say it is cubed. Ex. 43 is read as four cubed
