The exponent shows how many times the number is being multiplied by itself.

So if it's 10 to the power of 3 (which is 1000) ur are showing a shorter way of showing 10x10x10=1000.

Can you raise a number to a power on a 4 function calculator?

Yes, most 4-function calculators have a power or exponent button denoted by a "^" symbol. You can use this button to raise a number to a power.


Program to find the sum of the series as 1 plus x plus x2 plus x3 plus?

The idea is to use a loop. To reduce the additional effort (and innacuracy) of power calculations, you can do repeated multiplication, as part of the loop. For example, in Java:double sum = 1;double xpower = 1.0;for (int i = 1; i


Why exponents were invented?

Originally they were probably invented as a shortcut for repeated multiplication, just as multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition. However, it was eventually found that, just as fractional factors, fractional exponents can also be given a reasonable - and very useful - definition.Originally they were probably invented as a shortcut for repeated multiplication, just as multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition.

How do you write a program in c to compute the power of a number without using the mathh library?

There is a function which can do it for you. You have to include math.h in headers. And then use the function pow(x, y) which returns a value of type double (x and y are double too).pow(x, y) = x to the power of y.


How do you know that a multiplication fact is correct?

There are a few ways to determine if a multiplication fact is correct:Repeated addition: since multiplication is simply repeated addition at its base, you can reaffirm a multiplication fact by repeatedly adding the number you're multiplying. With the basic multiplication facts (i.e. times tables), this is possibly the best option.Division: Since it's simply the reverse of multiplication, then you can just reverse the process to confirm it.Using multiple methods: There are multiple ways to do multiplication than just the usual long multiplication done in school, such as lattice multiplication, and Ayurvedic multiplication (just to name the two I know). You can use these to confirm a multiplication.


What is the top number in an exponent?

Power. It is the number of times you use the base as a factor in a multiplication problem.


How can you use multiplication facts 1 and 2 to find 3 x 7?

The "multiplication facts" may be numbered differently in different textbooks, so it is really hard to guess what multiplication facts you are talking about. Better use the standard names, for example, "commutative property", "associative property", etc. For a multiplication such as 3 x 7, you either memorize the tables, your you do the repeated addition (3 x 7 = 7 + 7 + 7, that is, 7 appears 3 times as an addend.)
