I am not a native speaker of english!!!

Thanks! I thought so too......It's exactly as in my language...but I wasn't sure.....
What about raising at a power x^y= x*x*x*x*....y times

Answer 1

HI!
For the first: 5 times six equals 30.

Second: x to the yth power.

When in doubt...don't be afraid to ask! :) :)

Answer 2

Mostly its '5 multiplied by 6 equal to 30'

Answer 3

"5 times 6 equals 30"

Answer 4

I think most people would say "5 times 6 equals 30"

Answer 5

So, in English, we usually say "times" instead of multiply.

The word "of" also works. Example:

What is 0.5 x 6?

You could say what is one-half TIMES 6.

Or, what is one-half OF 6.

"OF" is convenient with fractions usually.

Your other question, about powers:

x^4 would be said x to the 4th power.

Except, like the other person mentioned, squared and cubed mean 2nd and 3rd power.

Answer 6

5 sixes are 30
or
5 times six is 30

Answer 7

Yeah, five times six equals thirty (or 'is' thirty)... ok, for calculus: x to the ____ power. ie x to the tenth power when you have x multiplied by itself ten times.

Answer 8

For powers, it's "x to the y-th power" with a few exceptions:

x^2 is "x squared"
x^3 is "x cubed"
x^4, x^5 etc. is "x to the fourth power", "x to the fifth power" etc.

Answer 9

Five times six equal thirty

Six times five equal thirty

Answer 10
