Question

What is the answer for 2 to the power of 1?

Answer 1

Explanation:

an exponent always means how often the base (or base number) is multiplied by itself.

like

3⁴ = 3×3×3×3

5³ = 5×5×5

x⁵ = x×x×x×x×x

so,

x¹ = x

for every value of x.

and therefore

2¹ = 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

Any number to the power of 1 is that number itself, thus 2 to the power of 1 is 2.
