It means that there is a power, some number is the base, and 2 is the exponent.
2 is the base.
A base number is the value to the power of the exponent. For example, in 2^4, 2 is the base number and 4 is the exponent.
The number or expression in a power that is multiplied by itself is called the "base." In an exponentiation expression, the base is raised to a certain power, indicated by the exponent, which tells how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, in (2^3), the base is 2.
256 = 28
If something is to the 0 power it is 1 because you arent multiplying anything.
2 is the base.
to the 10th power means that you multiply the base number times its self 10 times EX: 2 to the 10 would look like this 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2= 1024
The common term for raising a base to the second power is to square it.Base^2
A base number is the value to the power of the exponent. For example, in 2^4, 2 is the base number and 4 is the exponent.
In a power, the number used as a fraction is called the base, while the exponent indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, in the expression (2^3), 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning (2) is multiplied by itself (3) times (i.e., (2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8)). The exponent essentially represents the power to which the base is raised.
The number or expression in a power that is multiplied by itself is called the "base." In an exponentiation expression, the base is raised to a certain power, indicated by the exponent, which tells how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, in (2^3), the base is 2.
6 to the power 2 is 36. The 6 is called the base. The 2 is the power or index. 36 is the basic numeral.
the base
256 = 28
In the expression "9 2," the base is the number 9. In mathematical terms, the base is the number that is being raised to a power, while the exponent (which is 2 in this case) indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. Therefore, 9 raised to the power of 2 is equal to 81.
1. Anything to the power of 0 is 1. Look at it this way. 2^3=8 Divide that by two, or the base. 2^3/2=2^2=4 Divide that by two. 2^2/2=2^1=2 Divide that by two. 2^1/2=2^0=1 Every time you lower an exponent by one power, you pretty much divide the number by its base. Key terms. Base: In 2^0, 2 is the base since you are multiplying it by itself "0 times". The power, or exponent: In 2^0, 0 is the power/exponent since it is the number of times 2 will be multiplied.
4 = 4^1 which means 1 is the exponent. Note that the exponent gives the logarithm in base 4, which is simply the power you raise the base (4) to produce a number. Also notice that 4 is a perfect square since 2^2 = 4, but that would mean that 4 log 2 = 2 (base here is 2, not 4).
