    Graphs of y = b x for various bases b: base 10, base e, base 2, base ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. Each curve passes through the point (0, 1) because any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. At x = 1, the value of y equals the base because any number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself.

  3. Power of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two

    Power of two. A power of two is a number of the form 2n where n is an integer, that is, the result of exponentiation with number two as the base and integer n as the exponent. Powers of two with non-negative exponents are integers: 20 = 1, 21 = 2, and 2n is two multiplied by itself n times. [1][2] The first ten powers of 2 for non-negative ...

  4. 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.

  5. One half - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_half

    Mathematics. One half is a rational number that lies midway between nil and unity (which are the elementary additive and multiplicative identities) as the quotient of the first two non-zero integers, . It has two different decimal representations in base ten, the familiar and the recurring , with a similar pair of expansions in any even base ...

  6. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    y = x 3 for values of 1 ≤ x ≤ 25.. In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3.

  7. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    Fourth power. In arithmetic and algebra, the fourth power of a number n is the result of multiplying four instances of n together. So: n4 = n × n × n × n. Fourth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its cube. Furthermore, they are squares of squares. Some people refer to n4 as n “ tesseracted ”, “ hypercubed ...

  8. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    Square (algebra) 5⋅5, or 52 (5 squared), can be shown graphically using a square. Each block represents one unit, 11, and the entire square represents 5⋅5, or the area of the square. In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb "to square" is used to denote this operation.

  9. 256 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256_(number)

    256 is a composite number, with the factorization 256 = 2 8, which makes it a power of two. 256 is 4 raised to the 4th power, so in tetration notation, 256 is 2 4. [1] 256 is a perfect square (16 2). 256 is the only 3-digit number that is zenzizenzizenzic. It is 2 to the 8th power or. 256 is the lowest number that is a product of eight prime ...
