  • Just as multiplication is a short way to write repeated addition, similarly, exponents are a short way to write repeated multiplication. 

    Exponential notation is very useful to describe very large and very small numbers.

    Exponents are a powerful way to mathematically describe rapid increases or decreases in growth. We have seen an explosion of growth in technology, which can best be described using exponents. 

    Watch the next video to see how rapidly technology has grown.
