Question
Hello,
you answered a question posted on line with text that included:
"^n is to represent powers, like x^2 = x to the power of 2, or just say "x" squared."
my question is, if "sqared" refers to "the power of 2":
is there a single word reference to the "power of 3",
the "power of 4" and so on...
may seem like a silly question, however, I do have a purpose for the answer in mind. Thank you!
yes there is.
squared = ^2
cubed = ^3
quartic = ^4
the rest i don't think there really is a name for it, other than nth power, whereas "n" stands for any number.
There might be a name for them.

| Comment | THANKS! The ONLY reason I gave a 9 for "Knowledgeability" was because of the "There might be a name for them" part of the answer, other than that, I am very impressed by this service! I do now recall the "cubed" descriptor. Thank you again! | ||
