#x^4=x*x*x*x#

Explanation:

When any number is raised to a power, it means that the base is being multiplied by itself. The number of times it is multiplied itself is dictated by the exponent.

For #x^4#, the base is #x# and the exponent is #4#.

#x^4# means that #x# will be multiplied by itself #4# TIMES.

#x^4=x*x*x*x#

#x*x*x*x# is the expanded form of #x^4#.

Answer: #x*x*x*x#

#x^4 = x xx x xx x xx x#

Explanation:

An exponent is a way of showing repeated multiplication of the same value.

#2xx2xx2xx2xx2 = 2^5 = 32#

#32# or #2^5# is the power, #2# is the base and #5# is the index or exponent.

#3xx3xx3xx3xx3 =3^5#

So, #x^4 = x xx x xx x xx x#

The exponent indicates how many of the same base are multiplied.

#x^4# is the power, #x# is the base and #4# is the index or exponent.
