What does 2 to the 2nd power mean?
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. In 82 the “2” says to use 8 twice in a multiplication, so 82 = 8 × 8 = 64. In words: 82 could be called “8 to the power 2” or “8 to the second power”, or simply “8 squared”
What is a variable to the 0 power?
Any number or variable raised to the zero power will equal one. This rule is true for all numbers and variables except for zero, which plays by its own rules again. Zero to the zero power is undefined.
Is 0 0 undefined or infinity?
Similarly, expressions like 0/0 are undefined. But the limit of some expressions may take such forms when the variable takes a certain value and these are called indeterminate. Thus 1/0 is not infinity and 0/0 is not indeterminate, since division by zero is not defined.
What is to the power of negative 1?
The negative power will become just “1” once I move the base to the other side of the fraction line. Anything to the power 1 is just itself, so I’ll be able to drop this power once I’ve moved the base.

What is 10 to the power of 100 called?
Googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 000, Googolplex isn’t just that number but has that many zeros in it.
Is googol bigger than infinity?
Almost inevitably, at this point someone proffers an even bigger number, “googolplex.” It is true that the word “googolplex” was coined to mean a one followed by a googol zeros. It’s way bigger than a measly googol! True enough, but there is nothing as large as infinity either: infinity is not a number.
What is the largest number you can say?
The biggest number referred to regularly is a googolplex (10googol), which works out as 1010^100.
What is the longest number ever?
Prof Hugh Woodin, University of California, USA – “One of the largest numbers we have a name for is a googol, and it’s one followed by a hundred zeroes. A hundred zeroes is a lot because each zero represents another factor of 10.”
What number is after 999 billion?
