PLEASE HELP!!

How could writing a problem using an exponent be easier to understand than repeated multiplication?

Answer:

One reason, is because it clearer and easier to read.

Seeing two numbers (3^5) can let you know, in this example, 3x3x3x3x3 is harder to understand than 3^5.

3 is the number being multiplied, and 5 tells you how many times.

~Hope this helps~
