Question

1. what does the power (exponent) tell us to do? the number to multiply how many times to multiply the base number together how many times to add the base

Explanation:

In exponentiation, if we have a number $a$ raised to the power $n$ written as $a^n$, the exponent $n$ indicates that the base number $a$ should be multiplied by itself $n$ times. For example, in $2^3$, the base is 2 and the exponent 3 means $2\times2\times2$.

Answer:

how many times to multiply the base number together
