Indices  
If a is a non-zero real number and n is a positive integer, 
then 
a X a X a X …………………… n times is  represented as a
n
 
where, a is called the base and n is called the exponent or 
power or index.  
Similarly (a X a X a X …………………… n times)  (b X b X b 
X ………………… m times) will be represented as a
n
b
