Sixth power
Okay kiddo, do you know what multiplication is? It’s when you add something to itself many times. For example, if you have 3 candy bars and you want to multiply them by 2, you would have 6 candy bars (3 + 3).
Now, when we talk about the sixth power of a number, it means we are multiplying that number by itself six times. So, if we take the number 2 and raise it to the sixth power, it would look like this:
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64
See how we multiplied 2 by itself six times? That’s the sixth power of 2. It’s a way of expressing really big numbers quickly.
You can also think of the sixth power as a number to the sixth degree. Just like how a square has two sides to it and is expressed as x², the sixth power has six sides to it and is expressed as x⁶.
So, the next time someone tells you to find the sixth power of a number, just remember to multiply that number by itself six times!
