In this example, 3 is the exponent.
-To compute the value of 23, you would multiply 2 to itself 3 times: 2 * 2 * 2. This evaluates to 8.

The general format of writing an exponent is:
- base# of times you multiply base by itself
Common exponents have special names:
-- Exponent of 2 is often referred to as squared. So 32 is referred to as 3 squared, evaluating to 9.
-- Exponent of 3 is often referred to as cubed. So 23 is referred to as 3 cubed, evaluating to 8.
+- An exponent of 2 means the number is squared. So 32 is referred to as 3 squared, evaluating to 9.
+- An exponent of 3 means the number is cubed. So 23 is referred to as 2 cubed, evaluating to 8.
### Negative Exponents
Negative exponents are computed similarly, except the value is placed as a denominator beneath a numerator of 1.
-For example, 2-2 = 1/(2*2) = 1/4
+For example, 2-2 = 1/(2 * 2) = 1/4
