Exponentiation

Rare card · No. 38708

In mathematics, exponentiation, denoted bn, is an operation involving two numbers: the base, b, and the exponent, n. When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, bn is the product of multiplying b by itself n times: b n = b × b × ⋯ × b × b ⏟ n times . {\displaystyle b^{n}=\underbrace {b\times b\times \dots \times b\times b} _{n{\text{ times}}}.} The definition of exponentiation can be extended in a natural way to define b x...
