Expressions and Variables - Power, Base, and Exponents - ALGEBRA I

The video tutorial explains the concepts of power, base, and exponent. It begins by introducing the idea of a power, which involves multiplying a number by itself a certain number of times, as indicated by the exponent. The tutorial provides examples, such as X to the third power and 2 to the fourth power, to illustrate these concepts. It then clarifies the roles of the base and the exponent in these expressions, emphasizing that the base is the number being multiplied, while the exponent indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself.

Can you provide an example of calculating a power, such as 2 to the 4th power?

What does it mean to multiply a base by itself?
