An exponent is a mathematical notation that shows how many times a number is multiplied by itself. It is written as a small number above and to the right of another number called the base. For example in 2³ the base is 2 and the exponent is 3 which means 2 is multiplied three times as 2 x 2 x 2. Exponents simplify the representation of large numbers and are used in various fields like science and engineering. They help in expressing powers and roots easily and play a key role in calculations involving growth or decay. Understanding exponents is essential for advanced math topics such as algebra and logarithms.
Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 focuses on Real Numbers covering key concepts like Euclid’s Division Lemma Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic and the nature of rational and irrational numbers. This chapter prepares students for CBSE Exam 2024-25 by strengthening their understanding of number systems prime factorization and decimal expansions. It also emphasizes solving problems related to HCF and LCM through practical applications and proofs ensuring a strong foundation in mathematics for higher studies and competitive exams.
