How do you find value of exponents?

To find the value of exponents, you multiply the base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent. For example, (2^3) means (2 \times 2 \times 2), which equals 8. If the exponent is zero, the value is always 1 (e.g., (5^0 = 1)). For negative exponents, take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent (e.g., (2^{-2} = \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4})).
