To type exponents on a Chromebook, use Ctrl + . (period) to access superscript mode in some apps, or press Alt + 0178 (on external numeric keypad) for ²—otherwise, use tools like Google Docs' “Format > Text > Superscript.”

To type exponents on a Chromebook, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + = (equal sign) to activate superscript mode. Then, type the exponent number, and press Ctrl + Shift + = again to return to normal text. Alternatively, you can use the "superscript" option in the formatting menu of the application you're using.

To type exponents on a Chromebook easily, use the caret symbol (^) by pressing Shift + 6, then type the exponent. For example, typing 2^3 represents 2 to the power of 3. For a cleaner look, use Google Docs: go to Format > Text > Superscript or press Ctrl + . (period) to type actual exponents.

The easiest way to use Google Docs on a Chromebook is to go to Format > Text > Superscript to type exponents.
Another option is to use the "^" symbol, like writing 2^3 (which means 2 to the power of 3).
If you need special characters, press Ctrl +. (dot) to open the emoji and symbols menu.

In order to enter exponents on Chromebook, you can press the keyboard combination Ctrl + Shift + = (equal sign) to enable superscript mode. Next, enter the number of the exponent, and press the keys Ctrl + Shift + = once again in order to get back to regular text. Or you may just case the superscript under the formatting menu of the application being employed.

• Caret symbol (^) – Type 2^3 to mean 2 to the power of 3.
• Superscript shortcut – Press Ctrl +. Then the number (works in some apps like Docs).

To type exponents easily on a Chromebook, you can use the caret symbol (^) followed by the exponent (e.g., 2^3 for 2 to the power of 3) in plain text. For formatted text (like in Google Docs), highlight the exponent number, then press Ctrl + . (period) to superscript it. Alternatively, go to Format > Text > Superscript from the menu. For frequent use, you can also enable the Unicode input (e.g., typing ² using Ctrl + Shift + U, then 00B2, and press Enter).
