Wrong Exponent Multiplication Examples

exponents. Examples: x³ = x × x × x × x × x x⁵ = x × x × x × x × x × x × x × x × x The expression of xⁿ is also called the ⁿᵗʰ pow

A cropped math textbook page shows examples of exponent notation, but the multiplication expansions contain the wrong number of x terms. The joke is that the supposedly educational example is mathematically incorrect, making it useful as a reaction to confident mistakes or flawed explanations.
