If the power is a positive integer, you can use repeated multiplication. For example: 34 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
Raise a power to a power by multiplying the two exponents together; e.g. (x 2)3 is x6
-3
1594323
It is: 22 = 4
43 + 42 = 64 + 16 = 80
43 * 24 * 7 * 4 * 22 * 72 . 64 * 16 * 7 * 4 * 4 * 49 = 5619712
If the power is a positive integer, you can use repeated multiplication. For example: 34 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
(-2)2 = (-2)(-2) = 4 (when we raise a negative number to an even power, the result is always positive) (-2)3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8 (when we raise a negative number to an odd power, the result is always negative) (-3)4 = 81 (-3)5 = -243
Use the exponent symbol (^). Example: 3 to the 4th power is 3^4.
-3 to the fourth power = 81
It is: 1.31079601

To raise something by the power of negative one, take the reciprocal of the number. In this instance, -3/4-1 = -4/3 or negative four thirds. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to -1.3 recurring (that is, -1.3333...)
