hatványozott

The Hungarian word "hatványozott" translates to "exponentiated" or "powered" in English. It refers to the result of a mathematical operation called exponentiation. In this operation, a number, known as the base, is multiplied by itself a specified number of times, indicated by another number called the exponent. For example, 3 hatványozott 4 (3 exponentiated by 4) means 3 multiplied by itself four times: 3 * 3 * 3 * 3, which equals 81. The base is the number being multiplied, and the exponent indicates how many times the base is used as a factor.

The concept of hatványozott is fundamental in mathematics and has numerous applications across various fields. It is used in algebra to simplify expressions, in calculus to represent growth and decay, and in computer science for calculating computational complexity. Understanding hatványozott is crucial for grasping more advanced mathematical concepts. The notation commonly used is $a^n$, where 'a' is the base and 'n' is the exponent, representing 'a' multiplied by itself 'n' times. Negative exponents indicate division, and fractional exponents represent roots.
