This week we didn’t really learn anything new involving exponents, we mostly reviewed for our exponents test on Thursday. I may not have learned anything new but I found that both unit 1: Radicals and unit 2: Exponents are closely related.

When you look closely at both of the units one could see that some of the components of the lessons like radicals and fractional exponents are alternate ways of expressing the same thing. If you wanted the square root of a number not only could it be expressed as a radical but, it could also be written as a power to one-half. Another way the two units are related to one another is that in the exponents unit it involves things from the first unit like radicals, coefficients, and index’s.
