Simpley, 2(to the power of)3 as there are 3 2's after the first :-)
1 to the first power, 2 to the second power, 3 to the third power, 4 to the fourth power, 5 to the fifth power...
9 to the 2 power is 81 9x9=81 When you are calculating powers you are really multiplying the first number by itself the number of times the second number says. so for 9 to the 2 power you are multiplying 9 by itself 2 times
Evaluate simply means work out. You times the first number by itself. The second number which is is small and beside the top corner of the first number decides how many times the first number gets times by itself. Here are 4 examples: 2 to the power of 4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2= 16 3 to the power of 3 = 3 x 3 x 3= 27 4 to the power of 3= 4 x 4 x 4= 64 5 to the power of 5 = 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5= 3125
A power means the number is mulitplied by itself the "power" number of times Thus 2 to the power 2 is the same as 2*2 2 to the power 3 is the same as 2*2*2 2 to the power 5 is the same as 2*2*2*2*2 So 2 to the power 40 is the same as 2*2*2....*2 (with 40 twos), which = 1099511627776
2¹ = 2
One half to the negative first power is equal to the reciprocal of one half raised to the first power. The reciprocal of one half is two, so (1/2)^(-1) = 1 / (1/2) = 1 * 2 = 2.
-2 to the first power = -2^1. -2^1 = -2*1. -2*1 = -2. The answer is negative two.
Any number to the 1st power is the same number, unchanged. Two to the 1st power is 2.
5^2
If you have 3 to the power 2 to the power 2, without any parentheses, you have to calculate from right to left. In this case, calculate 2 to the power 2; then calculate 3 to the power (whatever the result you get). If there are parentheses, do the calculation in parentheses first.

You evaluate the power of the power first. For example, 4 to the power of (3 to the power of 2) is 4 to the power of 9 which is 262,144

The power represents how many times the value is multiplied by itself. For example: 2 to the power of 3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 As you can see, if there was only one power it would equal the original number.
