Yes. Power may also be referred to as the exponent symbolically. E.g the superscript number 2 is the second power or square to the preceding number. Superscript 3 is the cube or third power, superscript 4 is the 4th power.
Since some fonts don't recognize superscript numbers I'll use the ^ (caret) to indicate that the following number is the designated power of the preceding number. So
2^2=4 and 2^3=8, etc For a simpler demonstration list the number mulitiplied by itself up to the number of its power. E.g 5^3 = 5X5X5=125 ;subtract 1 from the power would give you 5^2=25. So each power you subtract one from in effect divides it by 5. More advanced study of this is covered in Logarithms
