Indices in mathematics represent numbers raised to a power or exponent.
In mathematics, indices are used to represent numbers that are raised to a power or exponent.
They are also known as powers or exponents. Indices are written as small superscript numbers to the right of the base number, indicating how many times the base number should be multiplied by itself.
For example, if we have 2^3, the base number is 2 and the index is 3. This means that 2 should be multiplied by itself 3 times, resulting in 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
Similarly, if we have 4^2, the base number is 4 and the index is 2. This means that 4 should be multiplied by itself 2 times, resulting in 4 x 4 = 16.
