The power operator has the same semantics as the built-in pow() function, when called with two arguments: it yields its left argument raised to the power of its right argument. The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type. The result type is that of the arguments after coercion.
Each power is composed of ten of the one above. (The metric system is the system of measurement based on the powers of 10; see Lesson 4.). Strictly, 1 is not a power of 10.The first power of 10 is 10 itself. Its numeral is a 1 followed by one 0. The second power of 10 is 100; it has two 0's.
Scientific notation is such a method, and in science it's as imperative as elementary school multiplication tables. The general form of a number in scientific notation is: N x 10 x, which in words reads: N times 10 raised to the power of x, where x is called the exponent, or power of 10.
Raising a number to a power of six is the same as multiplying the number by itself six times. Working with powers of 10 can be easily visualized by adding a zero each time the power increases by one. Ten to the second power is 10 times 10, or 100. Ten to the third power is 10 times 10 times 10, which equals 1,000. Ten to the fourth power is 10,000.
For example, 2 to the 2nd power, which might be written as 2 2), means to multiply 2, 2 times, as in 2 x 2. Answer and Explanation: 5 to the tenth power is 9,765,625.
Ten to the 12th power is equal to 10 being multiplied by itself 12 times. Ten to the power of 12 is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion. The exponent of a number tells you how many times to multiply that number by itself. For example, 10 to the fourth power is 10 x 10 x 10 x 10, or 10000.
