In arithmetic and algebra, the fifth power or sursolid [1] of a number n is the result of multiplying five instances of n together: n 5 = 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:
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". Integer exponents
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.
5 (Epsilon is the 5th letter of the Greek alphabet) ι ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {\iota }}} 10 ( Iota is the 9th letter of the modern Greek alphabet but it was the 10th letter of an ancient archaic Greek alphabet that had the letter digamma (uppercase: Ϝ, lowercase: ϝ) in the 6th position between epsilon ε and zeta ζ.)
The only Pell numbers that are squares, cubes, or any higher power of an integer are 0, 1, and 169 = 13 2. [7] However, despite having so few squares or other powers, Pell numbers have a close connection to square triangular numbers. [8] Specifically, these numbers arise from the following identity of Pell numbers:
College football's bowl season continues Wednesday with a pair of games on opposite coasts. We break down the Boca Raton Bowl and LA Bowl.
Two to the power of n, written as 2 n, is the number of values in which the bits in a binary word of length n can be set, where each bit is either of two values. A word, interpreted as representing an integer in a range starting at zero, referred to as an "unsigned integer", can represent values from 0 (000...000 2) to 2 n − 1 (111...111 2) inclusively.
Thus, 1/54, in sexagesimal, is 1/60 + 6/60 2 + 40/60 3, also denoted 1:6:40 as Babylonian notational conventions did not specify the power of the starting digit. Conversely 1/4000 = 54/60 3 , so division by 1:6:40 = 4000 can be accomplished by instead multiplying by 54 and shifting three sexagesimal places.
