●Repeated Multiplication of a Number Raised to a Power
●A Product Raised to an Integral Power
●A Fraction Raised to an Integral Power
●Raising a Number to a Zero Exponent
●Raising a Number to Negative Exponents
●Summary - Laws of Exponents
●The importance of brackets
●Exercises
Back in the chapter on Numbers, we came across examples of very large numbers. (See Scientific Notation). One example was Earth's mass, which is about:
6 × 1024 kg
●In this number, the 10 is raised to the power 24 (we could also say "the exponent of 10 is 24").
The number 10 is called the base and 24 is called the exponent (or power).
