Mathematically it is a "quartic"

see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic

The power of five is a quintic.

However, most people say "raised to the fourth" or fifth.

The power is the number of times the number is multiplied by itself. So to the power of 4 is the number multiplied by itself 4 times.
