Answer
exponent
Work Step by Step
Repeated multiplication of the same factor can be written using an exponent.
We know that an exponential expression can be written as $a^{n}$ (where $a$ is the base and $n$ is the exponent). In other words, $a^{n}$ is equivalent to multiplying $a$ by itself $n$ times.
For example, $3^{4}=3\times3\times3\times3$.
