In arithmetic and algebra, the seventh power of a number n is the result of multiplying seven instances of n together. So: n 7 = n × n × n × n × n × n × n. Seventh powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its sixth power, the square of a number by its fifth power, or the cube of a number by its fourth power.
When an exponent is a positive integer, that exponent indicates how many copies of the base are multiplied together. 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.
In general, finding the optimal addition chain for a given exponent is a hard problem, for which no efficient algorithms are known, so optimal chains are typically used for small exponents only (e.g. in compilers where the chains for small powers have been pre-tabulated).
In mathematics and statistics, sums of powers occur in a number of contexts: . Sums of squares arise in many contexts. For example, in geometry, the Pythagorean theorem involves the sum of two squares; in number theory, there are Legendre's three-square theorem and Jacobi's four-square theorem; and in statistics, the analysis of variance involves summing the squares of quantities.
In mathematics, a prime power is a positive integer which is a positive integer power of a single prime number. For example: 7 = 7 1, 9 = 3 2 and 64 = 2 6 are prime powers, while 6 = 2 × 3, 12 = 2 2 × 3 and 36 = 6 2 = 2 2 × 3 2 are not. The sequence of prime powers begins:
