- ∙ The result of a logarithm, between a base and an antilogarithm, for example, the 4{\displaystyle 4} in logb⁡(a)=4{\displaystyle \log _{b}(a)=4}. mathematics
- ∙ The degree to which the root of a radicand is found, for example, the 2{\displaystyle 2} in r2=b{\displaystyle {\sqrt[{2}]{r}}=b}. mathematics, obsolete
∙ A manifestation of a morphosyntactic property. linguistics

\ex*po"nent\ (?), n. [l. exponens, -entis, p. pr. of exponere to put out, set forth, expose. see expound.]
1. (alg.) a number, letter, or any quantity written on the right hand of and above another quantity, and denoting how many times the latter is repeated as a factor to produce the power indicated;
note: thus a2 denotes the second power, and an the xth power, of a (2 and x being the exponents). a fractional exponent, or index, is used to denote the root of a quantity. thus, a⅓ denotes the third or cube root of a.
2. one who, or that which, stands as an index or representative; as, the leader of a party is the exponent of its principles.
exponent
of a ratio, the quotient arising when the antecedent is divided by the consequent; thus, 6 is the exponent of the ratio of 30 to 5. [r.]

n
1. a person who pleads for a cause or propounds an idea [syn: advocate, advocator, proponent]

2. someone who expounds and interprets or explains
3. a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself [syn: power, index]

Exponentiation
Exponentiation is a mathematical operation, written as bn, involving two numbers, the base b and the exponent n. When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, bn is the product of multiplying n bases:

In that case, bn is called the n-th power of b, or b raised to the power n.
