The exponential form is an easier way of writing repeated multiplication involving base and exponents. For example, we can write 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 as 54 in the exponential form, where 5 is the base and 4 is the power. In this form, the power represents the number of times we are multiplying the base by itself
