Description
A detailed tutorial on how to solve different exponents. Step by step tutorial including several exponential problems for reference. Knowledge of exponents are a requirement for algebra.
Overview
Exponents follow a basic form of multiplication.
When solving an exponent, is important to not read it as multiplication, but “to the power”. Powers mean a number mulitiplied by itself, the number of times the power represents.
Example: 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8, while 2 * 3 = 6. Multiplication and exponents are not the same.
