what does ^ mean?

Question

in mathematical terms?

Answer 1

to the power of
eg. 2^4 = 2 to the power of 4 or 2x2x2x2

Answer 2

To the power of ;

2^3 = 2 X 2 X 2 = 8

Answer 3

To the power of. Basically, multiply the quantity by itself that many times.

3^4 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81

Answer 4

When you see ^ on a number it means raise to the power of

3x^2 is the same as 3x²

The 3 is the coefficient the x is the variable the x²
the exponent with the variable is the power the variable will be raised. x² means x squared.

- - - - - - -s-

Answer 5

Because this program does not allow the easy use of 'superscripts' the ^ is used along with number to indicate "raised to the power of..."

If you use a word document and 'Copy & Paste' you can create a page of figures such as : -

A = πr²


V = 4πr³/ 3

etc etc

Hope this helps :-)

Answer 6

like 2^2 is four--exponents 2 to the second power

Answer 7

exponent

for example:
2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

x^4 = x * x * x * x

Answer 8

well here on yahoo answers, it means: to the power of.
eg. meters squared = m^2
or 6 to the power of 3 = 6^3

Answer 9

^ means there is an exponent.
really technically, although no one ever says it, it is "raised to a power of"

Ex:

2^2 means 2 squared.
2^3 means 2 cubed (or to the third power)
et cetera [[:

Answer 10

^ means "to the power of," such as 2^3 = 2 cubed = 8.
