Formula & Logic
Exponentiation is mathematical shorthand for repeated multiplication. Raising x to the power of n means multiplying x by itself n times.
Practical Applications
Scientific Notation
Express very large or very small numbers using powers of 10 (e.g., 3.0 × 10⁸).
Population Growth
Model exponential growth of bacteria or populations over time.
Computing
Calculate memory sizes and processing power, often measured in powers of 2 (e.g., 2¹⁰ = 1024).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What happens if the exponent is 0?
Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.
Q.What does a negative exponent mean?
A negative exponent represents the reciprocal of the positive power. For example, x⁻² = 1/x².
Q.How do fractional exponents work?
Fractional exponents represent roots. For example, x^(1/2) is the square root of x, and x^(1/3) is the cube root.
