Exponentiation
Exponentiation is a mathematical operation, written as bn, 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 n bases:
In that case, bn is called the n-th power of b, or b raised to the power n.
In that case, bn is called the n-th power of b, or b raised to the power n.
