In all the lessons that my teacher had taught me… the most outstanding is exponent to me. As you could find exponent in most of the mathematical equations, there are a system that is to show the repeated multiplication. For example, this is as the power five. How could I show this in an expanded form? Such as 5∘5, which would equal to 25! It’s not hard once you know the base is the number in front of the exponent. And the exponent is the tiny number beside the base. We call this whole thing as the power.

In a more advance way of exponents would be coefficient – the number multiply by the variable with the exponent to get to an answer. For example, I could show to you is as 6∘p∘p because the exponent is next to the variable. If there is a bracket to the whole thing, like ( than we would find six would be multiplied by twice, and the same thing goes to the variable.

There are some rules in exponents that you would be able to use when encountering an equation. Here are a few examples.

The Product Law is when you add the exponents from each of the base.
The Quotient Law is similar, except you got to subtract the exponent from the bases.
The Powers Law is the exponent would be multiplied from another one.
Last but not the least is the Zero Law, where the base that have a zero exponent would turn into one!
