Everything I know about exponents

This is everything I know about exponents. I divided it into 4 parts, I highly suggest that yo play it at 1.5 or 2 times speed because it is very long so it goes faster. I hope you enjoy my project and you learn something new.

    Great job Noah! Your effort and hard work payed off. I really enjoyed the videos and learned a lot. It was a little bit long but full of information. Keep up the hard work!

    I really liked the videos, but at the 0:38 timestamp on the second video, a better way to represent this would be 3^4 / 3^2 = 3^4-2. The videos were a bit long, but all the necessary information was included and I feel that it was well explained.

    Constructive criticism:

    You could have stated that the multiplying and dividing with exponents only works with the prerequisite of the same base. It was done once, but as the examples grow more complicated, the viewer may be confused, especially with this type of video.

    The part where you had a constant as the coefficient as well as a base is a bit confusing, but you explained it really well.

    I REALLY REALLY liked your explanation for law number 8 (roughly at the 3:40 timestamp) and the execution for the (2 x 3)^2 was flawless.

    At 0:23 for the third video, you could’ve explained a little bit of “why is x to the power of 0, 1?” This would strengthen your “divided by two” argument

    At timestamp 2:02 for the third video, you’ve already explained it with this example; using another one would solidify your understanding of this concept.

    At timestamp 3:37, in the third video, you made a calculation mistake. 1/-5^2 ≠ 1/25. It equals 1/-25, because the bottom is represented as -(5^2)

    For number sixteen, I liked how you defined sum and difference before going into the explanation to make 100% sure we were all on the same page.

    For the timestamp 2:14 on the fourth video, the fours can cancel each other out. You don’t even have to do anything to them. The operation would then be 3 + 32 = 35.

    I liked your explanation of the Pythagorean Theorem a lot. It cleared so much up to me and now I finally know what a triangle is XD.

    Overall comments:

    Great project! I enjoyed the format, if only it was shorter. Everything was technical, your idea was always correct. If I were the teacher, a 19/20 is going on your report!

      Thank you Kevin for your suggestions. They were very helpful and I did the corrections. For when you said that at 0:38 of the second video, I did explain how this works, I just did not write it down. When you said that I did not explain why x to the power of 0 = 1 and just did patterns is because the question just said to represent it in the form of patterns as a previous question had me explaining the law in more detail. Thank you so much for spotting the calculation mistake and I will be sure to fix it. I also changed the question for 2:14 on the forth video because you are absolutely right that there was another shortcut that I could have taken. Thank you for your comment and it has 100% improved my video.
