Exponentiation is the operation of multiplying the number by itself. In order to raise a number to a power, it is necessary to multiply the number as many times as the degree shows. For example: 23 - We multiply the deuce three times: 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.

Exponentiation degree - positive degree

And how to raise a degree to a power? This is also a simple operation. To raise a power to a power, you must first multiply the degrees, and then perform the erection according to the above scheme. For example, (23)2= 23 * 2= 26= 64.

Grading to Degree - Negative Degrees

In the case of negative degrees, everything is somewhat more complicated. The negative degree is found by the following formula a-n= 1 / an, and therefore the formula for raising the degree with degree for negative powers will look like this: (a-n)m= 1 / anm. Let's take an example: (2-3)2= 1/26= 1/64 = 0.015625.
