Be precise. Multiplication is defined as repeated addition. Use the word repeated to define exponential form. Justify your reasoning.

Well,

2² = 2 · 2
2³ = 2 · 2 · 2
2⁴ = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2
2⁵ = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2
2⁶ = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2
2⁷ = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2
2⁸ = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2
2⁹ = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2
and
2¹⁰ = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2

It's sure starting to look like exponentiation is repeated multiplication.
