  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    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".

  3. 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 ...

  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. To the Power of Three - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_the_Power_of_Three

    To the Power of Three was met with negative reviews and was a commercial failure, having reached just number 97 in the U.S. Billboard 200. [5] Jason Ankeny wrote to AllMusic a one-sentence review in which he opined that " ...To the Power of Three fails to recapture the magic of Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer's past collaborations" and gave the ...

    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. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    In elementary plane geometry, the power of a point is a real number that reflects the relative distance of a given point from a given circle. It was introduced by Jakob Steiner in 1826. [1] Specifically, the power of a point with respect to a circle with center and radius is defined by. If is outside the circle, then , if is on the circle, then ...

  8. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    The term hyperpower [4] is a natural combination of hyper and power, which aptly describes tetration. The problem lies in the meaning of hyper with respect to the hyperoperation sequence. When considering hyperoperations, the term hyper refers to all ranks, and the term super refers to rank 4, or tetration.

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

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

    As Fermat did for the case n = 4, Euler used the technique of infinite descent. [50] The proof assumes a solution (x, y, z) to the equation x 3 + y 3 + z 3 = 0, where the three non-zero integers x, y, and z are pairwise coprime and not all positive. One of the three must be even, whereas the other two are odd.
