  2. Fifth power (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_power_(algebra)

    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:

  3. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    Exponentiation is written as b n, where b is the base and n is the power; often said as "b to the power n ". [1] When n is a positive integer , exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, b n is the product of multiplying n bases: [ 1 ] b n = b × b × ⋯ × b × b ⏟ n times . {\displaystyle b^{n}=\underbrace ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

  5. 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.

    The first three values of the expression x[5]2.The value of 3[5]2 is 7 625 597 484 987; values for higher x, such as 4[5]2, which is about 2.361 × 10 8.072 × 10 153 are much too large to appear on the graph.

  7. Knuth's up-arrow notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth's_up-arrow_notation

    People have adopted the linear notation for such environments; the up-arrow suggests 'raising to the power of'. If the character set does not contain an up arrow, the caret (^) is used instead. The superscript notation a b {\displaystyle a^{b}} doesn't lend itself well to generalization, which explains why Knuth chose to work from the inline ...

  8. Pell number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

    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:

  9. Power of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two

    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.
