Exponentiation
Exponentiation is a mathematical operation, written as , involving two numbers, the "base" and the "exponent" . When is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, is the product of multiplying bases:
Elementary mathematics
Exponentiation is a mathematical operation, written as "b", involving two numbers, the base "b" and the exponent (or power) "n". When "n" is a natural number (i.e., a positive integer), exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, "b" is the product of multiplying "n" bases:
