I would need to know how it is translated this expression:
"two raised to the dth power" = dos elevado a la ____ potencia
I guess dth is an ordinal number, but I don't know which. I don't need the solution, just the translation. These are exercises for students.

potencia d
Dos elevado a la potencia d
(where d specifies the power of 2 in this case)
(where d specifies the power of 2 in this case)
Example sentence:
Número e elevado a la potencia d. Si d es igual a NaN o PositiveInfinity, se devuelve ese valor. Si d es igual a NegativeInfinity, se devuelve 0.
... y el mensaje x se descifrará como c elevado a la potencia d.
Discussion
La formula es un formula general, "d" puede ser substituido por cualquier numero (mayor o igual a 4).
Cual sería la traducción correcta en caso de d=4 ("two raised to the 4th power")? "dos elevado a 'cuadr-écima' potencia" o "dos elevado a la cuarta potencia". Necesitas encontrar una traducción que sea adecuada a todos los casos posibles.
