Answer:

It matters of what the whole number in front is.

Explanation:

For example: 6 to the power of 2 = 36

if the first number is a decimal: 1.6 to the power of 2.56

Its NOT an exponent if the starting number is a decimal usually.

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

Exponents are expressed as numbers or variables in superscript above a base number. When the exponent is equal to or greater than 2, it directs how many times the base number is to be multiplied. The numbers 1 and 0 are special exponents, and negative integers as exponents stand for reciprocal values.
