a number written asa base number with an exponent BASE EXPONENT
LIKE THIS:
2 SAY 2 TO THE 5th POWER
THE REPEATED FRACTION IN A MULTIPLICATON PROBLEM
BASE = POWER
FACTOR * FACTOR * FACTOR = PRODUCT 2 * 2 * 2 = 8
THE NUMBER OF TIMES BASE IS MULTIPLIED BY ITSELF
2
2{1st time} * 2{2nd time} * 2{3rd time} =40
81)3333(34 means
81)3()3()3()3()3( 4 means
27)333(33 means
27)3()3()3()3( 3 means
2 SAY 2 TO THE 2nd POWER OR
TWO SQUARED MOST MATHEMATICIAN SAY TWO SQUARED
2 = 2 2 = 4
2 SAY 2 TO THE 3rd POWER OR TWO CUBED
MOST MATHEMATICIANS SAY TWO CUBED
2 = 2 2 2 =8
THE BASE IS ANY NUMBER BUT 0,THE ANSWER IS 1.
2 =1
4,638 =1 ANY NUMBER {except the number 0} =1
0 =UNDEFINED
THE ANSWER IS THE SAME NUMBER AS THE BASE NUMBER
2 =24,638 =4,638
ANY NUMBER =THE SAME BASE0 =0
THE EXPONENT 1 IS USUALY INVISIBLE
1. Write out the original problem.2. Show the substitution with parentheses.3. Work out the problem.
