指数运算：连续相乘的数学表达

Translation: Generally, it represents the process of continuously multiplying a number by itself, which is equal to multiplying it by itself a certain number of times.

In mathematics, the number being multiplied is called the base, denoted by the letter 'a'. The exponent, which represents the number of times the base is multiplied by itself, is denoted by the letter 'n'. This notation is read as 'a to the power of n' or 'a raised to the power of n'.
