What is power of a number?
A number raised to the power "a" is multiplied by itself "a" times. For example, 5 raised to the power 3 is 5x5x5=125. 2 raised to the power 5 is 2x2x2x2x2=32.
What is 5 to the 6th power times 5 to the -2 power?
As the number being raised to the powers is the same, the powers can be added together and the answer is the number raised to this power: 56 x 5-2 = 56 + -2 = 54 = 625
What is the missing number in the sequence 1 - 8 - 27 - - 125 - 216?
The missing number in this sequence is 64, or 4 raised to the third power. You find the answer by noting that each number in the sequence is a counting number starting at 1 that is raised to the third power. For example, 2 raised to the third power (2 x 2 x 2) is 8.
Can a negative number be raised to an odd power?
yes, but the answer will remain negative. for example, (-2)3 is -8 in order to make a negative number positive, it must be raised to an even power, for example (-2)2 = 4
Why does 2 to the zeroth power equal 1?
Anything raised to the power of zero is 1. Not just the number 2.
