Formula
y = b^xb- The base number
x- The exponent (power)
Example
Calculating with a Negative Exponent
Evaluate 2 raised to the power of -3.
- Set base b = 2 and exponent x = -3.
- A negative exponent means taking the reciprocal: 2^(-3) = 1 / (2^3).
- Calculate the positive power: 2^3 = 8.
- Divide: 1 / 8 = 0.125.
- Result: 0.125
