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.
256 = 28
If something is to the 0 power it is 1 because you arent multiplying anything.
A base is a number in a term that has an exponent on it. e.g. x^2: x is the base log2(8) 2 is the base
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.
the base
256 = 28
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.
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.
If something is to the 0 power it is 1 because you arent multiplying anything.
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).
A base is a number in a term that has an exponent on it. e.g. x^2: x is the base log2(8) 2 is the base
That means that powers are used in which the base is 10. It is also implied that the exponent is an integer.
