Talk:exponentiate

Intransitive and/or transitive?
Could we please clarify the intent of the definition (with a label!) Is that intended to be intransitive and/or transitive?
 * 1) (mathematics) To utilize exponentiation.

Furthermore, if transitive, what is the usage? For instance, in the case of xⁿ, would we say Wikipedia's article on exponentiation has two examples of the latter usage. (Possibly it might be elaborated as something like "Let us exponentiate x by n to obtain xⁿ" or "Let us exponentiate x with n to obtain xⁿ".) I don't think anyone would say, *"Let us exponentiate xⁿ."
 * "Let us exponentiate x to obtain xⁿ." and/or
 * "Let us exponentiate x to obtain xⁿ."?

Sample sentences in the entry would also help.
