Frequently Asked Questions
What is an exponent?
An exponent refers to the number of times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself. For example, 53 means 5 × 5 × 5 = 125.
How do I calculate negative exponents?
A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the absolute value of the exponent. For example, 2-3 = 1 / 23 = 1/8 = 0.125.
What are fractional exponents?
Fractional exponents represent roots. For example, 81/3 is the cube root of 8, which equals 2. Similarly, 41/2 is the square root of 4, which is 2.
Can I use decimal numbers as base or exponent?
Yes, our calculator supports both decimal bases and exponents. For example, you can calculate 2.53.2 which equals approximately 18.767.
How does the graph work?
The graph visualizes exponential growth by showing how the result changes as the exponent increases. The red marker indicates your specific calculation.
