A number can be raised to a large power or exponent either through the use of a powerful calculator or computer, or with time and patience. A large power or exponent implies the base number is being multiplied by itself many time. While this is possible to do by hand, it is very tedious and, for ver large exponents and bases, very prone to error.

What is a number produced by raising a base to and exponent?
A power.
What is it called when raising a number to the second power?
Taking a number to the second power is known as "squaring" the number.
What is a rule for raising a negative number to a power?
It is the positive form of the number raised to that power, multpilied by -1 raised to that power.
Is it possible for a large prime number to be expressed as a large integer raised to a very large power?
No. Any number raised to a power is not prime.
Can a logarithmic function have a base of zero?
No. No number can be generated by raising zero to a power. Zero raised to any power is still zero.
Raising a number to the third power?
Raising a number to the third power is referred to as cubed.
What is the general rule for raising a number to the power of 1?
Raising a number to the power of 1 doesn't change the number.
What is a rule for raising a negative number into a power number?
The answer depends on the power number. If, for example, the power number is -0.5, then there is no rule in real numbers.
A number produced by raising a base to an exponent?
A number produced by raising a base to an exponent is called?
What is a number produced by raising a base to and exponent?
A power.
Raising a number to a second power?
Is basically doubling the number. For example 2 to the second power is 4.
What is it called when raising a number to the second power?
Taking a number to the second power is known as "squaring" the number.
What is raising the number to the third power called?
It is loosely called "cubing" the number.
What is a number obtained by raising a base to an exponent?
It is a power of that base.
What is a rule for raising a negative number to a power?
It is the positive form of the number raised to that power, multpilied by -1 raised to that power.
Raising a number to the second power?
Raising a number to the second power means you are squaring the number, multiplying it by itself. 2 squared= 2*2=4 3 squared=3*3=9
Is raising a number to the power of 0.5 the same as square root?
YES!!!! sqrt(x) = x^(0.5) = x^(1/2) It is just mathematical convenience, which expression you choose. NB Cube Root curt(x) = x^(0.333....) = x^(1/3) Fourth root 4rt(x) = x^(0.25) = x^(1/4) et.seq.,
