Frequently Asked Questions
An exponent (power) indicates how many times a base number is multiplied by itself:
bn = b × b × ... (n times). For example, 23 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.
A negative exponent represents the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive power:
b-n = 1 / (bn). For example, 2-3 = 1 / 23 = 1/8 = 0.125.
Any non-zero number raised to the zero power equals 1:
b0 = 1.
