And just to reiterate the point that there is no meaningful difference: Directly from Mathworld.com: If you look at both definitions, they basically say "an exponent is a power" and "a power is an exponent." btw, GuardianAngel, I'm still waiting for your explanation.
rofl i'm a junior in highschool, taking calculus BC, and yeah, power = exponent.. they're the same thing.. unless you're using the wrong term...
I copied and pasted from the school website...Thats how its put, so I guess just ignore the power/exponent thing. Thanks everyone, especially Coma. I'll be sending credits.
