What are exponents?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The numbers all have a known value of 1 exponent right? But you don't count the first one do you?

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

So if every one of them has an exponent of 1, what is the highest exponent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhh! Its 1

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Right, just look at the highest exponent in the entire expression.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its not the actual number on exponents, its the highest value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
