2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

   e. In mathematics, exponentiation is an operation involving two numbers: the base and the exponent or power. Exponentiation is written as bn, where b is the base and n is the power; this is pronounced as " b (raised) to the (power of) n ". [1]

3. Power rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rule

   Calculus. In calculus, the power rule is used to differentiate functions of the form , whenever is a real number. Since differentiation is a linear operation on the space of differentiable functions, polynomials can also be differentiated using this rule. The power rule underlies the Taylor series as it relates a power series with a function's ...

4. Descartes' rule of signs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_rule_of_signs

   Descartes' rule of signs. In mathematics, Descartes' rule of signs, described by René Descartes in his La Géométrie, counts the roots of a polynomial by examining sign changes in its coefficients. The number of positive real roots is at most the number of sign changes in the sequence of polynomial's coefficients (omitting zero coefficients ...

5. Base (exponentiation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(exponentiation)

   The number n is called the exponent and the expression is known formally as exponentiation of b by n or the exponential of n with base b. It is more commonly expressed as "the n th power of b ", " b to the n th power" or " b to the power n ". For example, the fourth power of 10 is 10,000 because 104 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000.

6. Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for specific exponents

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_Fermat's_Last...

   Fermat's Last Theorem states that no three positive integers (a, b, c) can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2. (For n equal to 1, the equation is a linear equation and has a solution for every possible a and b. For n equal to 2, the equation has infinitely many solutions, the Pythagorean triples.)

7. Exponential function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

   Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. The exponential function is a mathematical function denoted by () = ⁡ or (where the argument x is written as an exponent).Unless otherwise specified, the term generally refers to the positive-valued function of a real variable, although it can be extended to the complex numbers or generalized to other mathematical objects like matrices or Lie algebras.
