What does it mean to raise a number to an exponent?
To raise a number to an exponent means to multiply it by itself as many times as the specified exponent. For example: 23 or "two to the power of three" is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 35 or "three to the power of five" is the same as 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 y2 or "y to the power of two" (or "y squared") means y × y
What is the exponent if an exponent is not given?
if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. ex: 41
What is (-5) to the power of -1 without an exponent?
I am not entirely sure what you mean: If you raise something to a power, you automatically have an exponent.(-5) to the power (-1) is the reciprocal of (-5) to the power 1, so you have 1 / (-5), or -1/5.
