For example, 3 5 = 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 = 243. The base 3 appears 5 times in the multiplication, because the exponent is 5. Here, 243 is the 5th power of 3, or 3 raised to the 5th power. The word "raised" is usually omitted, and sometimes "power" as well, so 3 5 can be simply read "3 to the 5th", or "3 to the 5".
The only known powers of 2 with all digits even are 2 1 = 2, 2 2 = 4, 2 3 = 8, 2 6 = 64 and 2 11 = 2048. [12] The first 3 powers of 2 with all but last digit odd is 2 4 = 16, 2 5 = 32 and 2 9 = 512. The next such power of 2 of form 2 n should have n of at least 6 digits.
For each integer n > 2, the function n x is defined and increasing for x ≥ 1, and n 1 = 1, so that the n th super-root of x, , exists for x ≥ 1. However, if the linear approximation above is used, then y x = y + 1 {\displaystyle ^{y}x=y+1} if −1 < y ≤ 0 , so y y + 1 s {\displaystyle ^{y}{\sqrt {y+1}}_{s}} cannot exist.

The subtraction operator: a binary operator to indicate the operation of subtraction, as in 5 − 3 = 2. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. [1] The function whose value for any real or complex argument is the additive inverse of that argument. For example, if x = 3, then −x = −3, but if x = −3, then −x = +3. Similarly, −(−x) = x.
Tom Kim apologized on social media Monday after he damaged his locker room door following a playoff loss at the DP World Tour’s Genesis Championship in South Korea on Sunday.
A negative base (or negative radix) may be used to construct a non-standard positional numeral system.Like other place-value systems, each position holds multiples of the appropriate power of the system's base; but that base is negative—that is to say, the base b is equal to −r for some natural number r (r ≥ 2).
