81 A number raised to the second power is the number multipled by itself twice (9*9). A number raised to the third power, is the number multipled by itself 3 times (9*9*9) and so on.
Any number raised to the power 1 is that same number, x1 = x. For example, 51 = 5.
An expression for 5 raised to the third power or 5 cubed is 5 x 5 x 5. It simply multiplying the base number 5 three times. The result would be that 5 cubed is equal to 125.
5
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, 5 to the power of -1 is equal to 1/5, or 0.2. This is because any number raised to the power of -1 is the multiplicative inverse of that number, which is the reciprocal.

Short for a perfect cube - an integer raised to the third power. For example, 125, which is the cube of 5 (53 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125).

5
5 to the third power equals 125
Raising a number to the third power is the same as multiplying the number with itself, in such a way that there are a total of 3 factors. In this case, (-5) x (-5) x (-5).
If it's the same number, it's that number to the fifth power.
To divide a number raised to one power by the same number raised to a nother power, you subtract the powers; eg 5 cubed divided by 5 squared is 5 to the power (3 - 2) ie 5. If you divide 5 cubed by 5 cubed then you have 5 to the power (3 - 3) ie 0, but 5 cubed divided by 5 cubed is 1 hence 5 to the power zero is one. This calculation holds good for any non-zero number.

It's the inverse of the number raised to the power. 2 to the power of negative 3 would be 1/8th.1 over 25Improvement(shininggallade):When raising a whole number to a negative power, simply raise 5 to the second power, which is 25, and put a 1 over it. 5^-2=1/25 A more technical definition is to reverse the numerator and denominator and then apply the power. Remember 5 is the same as 5/1, so (5^-2)/1=1/(5^2)=1/25(The symbol for "to the power of" is "^" just to let you know.)
25 = 32
