The value of any nonzero number raised to the zero power will equal positive one (1).
The value of anything raised to the power of infinity depends on the base. If the base is greater than 1, the value approaches infinity. If the base is equal to 1, the value remains 1. If the base is between 0 and 1, the value approaches 0. If the base is 0, the expression is typically considered to be 0, but if it's 0 raised to the power of infinity, it is an indeterminate form.
x to the power 2 = (x to the power 3)/x; x to the power 1 = (x to the power 2)/x; x to the power 0 = (x to the power 1)/x. As x to the power 1 is merely x then the last expression is equivalent to x/x, ie 1.
A negative integer power of a base is the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive integer power. For example, ( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} ), where ( a ) is the base and ( n ) is a positive integer. This relationship shows that as the exponent decreases into the negatives, the value of the expression represents a division by the base raised to the positive power.

This relationship shows that as the exponent decreases into the negatives, the value of the expression represents a division by the base raised to the positive power.
The power could then be called an exponent. The number that is being raised to a power is called the base. In the case of 42, the exponent is 2 and the base is 4.
1 to the power of anything is always 1.
In precalculus, "base" typically refers to the foundational number in an exponential expression. For example, in the expression ( b^x ), ( b ) is the base, and it is raised to the power of ( x ). The base determines the growth rate of the exponential function, and it can be any positive number except for zero. Additionally, in logarithms, the base indicates what number is raised to a certain power to yield a given value.

The number that indicates how many times the base is used as a factor is the exponent, or power.
