  2. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    Cube (algebra) y = x3 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 23 = 8 or (x + 1)3. The cube is also the number ...

  3. Fifth power (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    Fifth power (algebra) In arithmetic and algebra, the fifth power or sursolid[1] of a number n is the result of multiplying five instances of n together: n5 = n × n × n × n × n. Fifth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its fourth power, or the square of a number by its cube. The sequence of fifth powers of integers is:

  4. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)

    A. 1685. Graph of the equation y = 1/x. Here, e is the unique number larger than 1 that makes the shaded area under the curve equal to 1. The number e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that is the base of the natural logarithm and exponential function.

  5. 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 ...

    1/52! chance of a specific shuffle Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 × 10 −68 (or exactly 1 ⁄ 52!) [4] Computing: The number 1.4 × 10 −45 is approximately equal to the smallest positive non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE floating-point value.

  7. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    The term superexponentiation was published by Bromer in his paper Superexponentiation in 1987. [3] It was used earlier by Ed Nelson in his book Predicative Arithmetic, Princeton University Press, 1986. The term hyperpower [4] is a natural combination of hyper and power, which aptly describes tetration.

  8. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    The "megaton (of TNT equivalent)" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 petajoules (4.184 × 10 15 J). [3] The kiloton and megaton of TNT equivalent have traditionally been used to describe the energy output, and hence the destructive power, of a nuclear weapon.

  9. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

    Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ[1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [2] It is a type of polyphase system employing three wires (or ...
