Overview
Exponentiation is a mathematical operation that represents repeated multiplication of a number by itself.
- x^y: General power operation, calculates x raised to the power y
- x²: Square operation, calculates x raised to the power 2
- x³: Cube operation, calculates x raised to the power 3
- e^x: Natural exponential, calculates e raised to the power x
Syntax
x^y // Calculate x raised to the power y
x^2 // Calculate x squared
x^3 // Calculate x cubed
e^x // Calculate e raised to the power x
