Exponents. The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. In 82 the 2 says to use 8 twice in a multiplication, so 82 = 8 Ã 8 = 64. In words: 8 2 could be called 8 to the power 2 or 8 to the second power, or simply 8 squared. Exponents are also called Powers or Indices.
Updated October 02, 2016. Degree - The greatest exponent in a polynomial or equation. Example: 3x13 + 5x3 (Degree: 13) h5 + h4 + h8 + h3 + h12 + h2 + 13h (Degree: 12) y = -5b + 19 (Degree : 1; Note, b is raised to the 1st power.) Æ(x) = 5x9 - 5 (Degree: 9)
