The number or expression that is multiplied by itself in a power is called the "base." In an expression like (a^n), (a) is the base and (n) is the exponent, indicating that (a) is multiplied by itself (n) times. For example, in (3^4), the base (3) is multiplied by itself four times: (3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3).
3 to the 9th power is 3 is multiply by itself nine times i.e. 39 = 3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3 =19683
Any number to the first power is that number - so 3 to the first = 3 Any number to the second power is that number multilpied by itself, so 3 to the second = 3 x 3 Any number to the third power is itself to the second power multiplied by itself, so 3 to the third = 3 x 3 x 3 and so on.. so three to the fourth = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 As three is a prime number there are no other factors.
3 to the 24th power, or (3^{24}), is equal to 8,430,469,000,000. This value represents 3 multiplied by itself 24 times.
multiplying a number by itself is a power 2^2=2 to the 2nd power 2^3=2 to the 3rd power
Multiply 3 by itself 78 times. (1.6423203268260658146231467800709e+37)
it means 3x3x3, multiplied by itself 3 times
In the expression (3) to the (5)th power, the base is (3). The base is the number that is multiplied by itself, in this case, (3) is multiplied by itself a total of (5) times. Thus, (3^5) represents (3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3).
Three raised to the first power, written as (3^1), is equal to 3. This is because any number raised to the first power is the number itself. Therefore, (3^1 = 3).
An exponent means "this many times." So, 4 cubed (to the power of 3; a 3 exponent.) is 4 NOT times 3, but 3 TIMES. So it is 4x4x4(=64). Or, 5 to the power of 5 is 5 times itself 5 times, so, 5x5x5x5x5(=3,125). 3 to the power of 9 is 3 times itself 9 times. Basically, the exponent tells how many times you multiply the number by itself. Does that help?
3 to the second power, written as (3^2), is equal to 3 multiplied by itself, which is (3 \times 3). This simplifies to 9. Therefore, (3^2 = 9).
A number "to the power" of another number means to multiply the first number by itself however many times the second number is. Example: 43, 4 to the power of 3, means multiply 4 by itself 3 times: 4x4x4=64
