An exponent indicates how many times a number, known as the base, is multiplied by itself. It is typically represented as a small number to the upper right of the base.
congrats on reading the definition of exponent. now let's actually learn it.
Base: The number that is raised to a power by an exponent, e.g., in $2^3$, 2 is the base.
Natural Exponential Function: $f(x) = e^x$, where $e$ is Euler's number, approximately equal to 2.718.
Logarithm: The inverse operation to exponentiation, indicating what power a base must be raised to obtain a given number.
