Frequently Asked Questions

What is an exponent?

An exponent tells you how many times to multiply a base by itself. 2Β³ = 2 Γ— 2 Γ— 2 = 8.

What is any number to the power of 0?

Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. For example, 5⁰ = 1.

What about negative exponents?

A negative exponent means divide by that power. 2⁻³ = 1/2³ = 1/8 = 0.125.

What is a fractional exponent?

Fractional exponents are roots. x^(1/2) is square root, x^(1/3) is cube root.
