In mathematics, exponentiation is an operation involving two numbers: the base and the exponent or power. Exponentiation is written as b n, where b is the base and n is the power; this is pronounced as "b (raised) to the (power of) n ".

- Yes, it's like this: _4.8 = 4 4/5 = 24/5. So it's 5 √5 to the power of 24_. *So the answer is 1*.
- leilaizarte, when you have a positive exponent, you are multiplying the base number by itself for as many times as the exponent indicates. For exam...

Exponentiation is a way of shortening the process/equation of repeatedly multiplying many copies of a number. An exponent is a number or symbol, placed above and to the right of the expression to which it applies, that indicates the number of times the expression is used as a factor.
3 days ago · Exponentiation is the process of taking a quantity b (the base) to the power of another quantity e (the exponent). This operation most commonly denoted b^e. In TeX, the Wolfram Language, and many other computer languages, exponentiation is denoted with a caret, i.e., as b^e.
