Exponents are a special form of multiplication in which a number is multiplied by itself.
This is called raising a number to a power. Let's look at some examples. In this example there is a three followed by a small two to the right and slightly above the three. The two written in this fashion is called superscript meaning super or above the other numbers or letters in a sentence. In math this means that the number before the number written in superscript is being raised to a certain power.
