  2. 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 ...

    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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Fourth Estate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Estate

    The term Fourth Estate or fourth power refers to the press and news media both in explicit capacity of advocacy and implicit ability to frame political issues. [1] The derivation of the term arises from the traditional European concept of the three estates of the realm: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners.

    When expressed as exponents, the geometric series is: 2 0 + 2 1 + 2 2 + 2 3 + ... and so forth, up to 2 63. The base of each exponentiation, "2", expresses the doubling at each square, while the exponents represent the position of each square (0 for the first square, 1 for the second, and so on.). The number of grains is the 64th Mersenne number.

  7. Fourth power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law

    Fourth power law. The fourth power law (also known as the fourth power rule) states that the greater the axle load of a vehicle, the stress on the road caused by the motor vehicle increases in proportion to the fourth power of the axle load. This law was discovered in the course of a series of scientific experiments in the United States in the ...

  8. Subscript and superscript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscript_and_superscript

    In mathematics, high superscripts are used for exponentiation to indicate that one number or variable is raised to the power of another number or variable. Thus y 4 is y raised to the fourth power, 2 x is 2 raised to the power of x, and the equation E = mc 2 includes a term for the speed of light squared.

  9. Inverse-square law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

    He illustrates that F and Φ obey the formulas F ∝ 1 / R^2 sinh^2(r/R) and Φ ∝ coth(r/R), where R and r represent the curvature radius and the distance from the focal point, respectively. [11] The concept of the dimensionality of space, first proposed by Immanuel Kant, is an ongoing topic of debate in relation to the inverse-square law. [12]
