To raise a number to an exponent means to multiply it by itself as many times as the specified exponent.
For example:
23 or "two to the power of three" is the same as 2 × 2 × 2
35 or "three to the power of five" is the same as 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
y2 or "y to the power of two" (or "y squared") means y × y
