They are 'like' terms
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.
A number raised to the second power is a number times itself. This can also be stated as a number squared.

5 raised to the 3rd power is 125.
It is the integral power of the number or the product of the number and variable(s). there is no special name.
The statement is true only if either the number is 0, or the variables are all raised to the power 0. In no other case can a variable involved.
That is the correct spelling of "exponent" (an advocate, or the numerical power to which a number or variable is raised)
because you cant raise a number negatively exponentially
They are the integer powers of that variable.
An exponential equation.
Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial.Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable raised to the second power (or "squared")Cubic=Variable raised to the third power (or "cubed")Quartic=Variable raised to the fourth powerQuintic=Variable raised to the fifth powerAnything higher than that is known as a "6th-degree" polynomial, or "21st-degree" polynomial. It all depends on the highest exponent in the polynomial. Remember, exponents modifying a constant (normal number) do not count.

squared is simply written as a constant raised to the second power. For example, 3 to the second power=9. The way to write the power, or exponent, is by writing a superscript (small number in the uppper righthand corner of the number or variable) number 2.
A number raised to the second power is a number times itself. This can also be stated as a number squared.
Any number raised to the power of 1 is equal to itself.
