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
2 × 2 × 2 = 8
In mathematics, the word "power" usually refers to an operation where a number is multiplied by itself a certain number of times. For example, in the expression "2 to the power of 3," 2 is multiplied by itself three times, resulting in 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. The number being multiplied is called the base, and the number of times it is multiplied is called the exponent.
2 * 2 * 2=8
