👉 In mathematics, an exponent is a number that tells how many times to multiply the base number by itself. For example, in the expression 3^2, "3" represents the base and "2" represents the exponent, meaning it multiplies the base by itself two times. The exponent can be any integer value from 0 to 9 (inclusive), which means that there are 10 possible values for an exponent when working with exponents in mathematics.
