How to use the Exponential calculator
- Enter The Base (b) and The Exponent (x).
- Press Calculate.
Formula and method
bˣ means multiplying b by itself x times. Also b⁻ˣ = 1 ÷ bˣ and b⁰ = 1.
Worked example
2¹⁰ = 1,024, which is 1.024 × 10³ in scientific notation. e¹ ≈ 2.71828.
Tips
- A base greater than 1 gives exponential growth, and a base between 0 and 1 gives decay.
- Very large results are shown in scientific notation.
Frequently asked questions
What is exponential growth?
Growth in which the amount multiplies by a constant factor each step, so it accelerates over time.
