Mar 8, 2014 · Exponentiation is a correspondence between addition and multiplication. Think of a number line, with $0$ in the "middle", and tick marks at each integer. Moving a certain distance to …

Take the following: (2)^3 = 8 I understand that this is 2 * 2 * 2 = 8 My question is how do I reverse engineer this if I do not know the power like this: (2)^x = 8 What is the value of x? x could

Oct 3, 2014 · You know, like addition is the inverse operation of subtraction, vice versa, multiplication is the inverse of division, vice versa , square is the inverse of square root, vice versa. What's the in...

Apr 25, 2017 · The definition of the exponential with integer exponents is straightforward to define: $x^n=\underbrace {x\cdot\ldots\cdot x}_ {n-\text {times}}$. These days I've ...

Sep 10, 2013 · We use multiplication for repeated addition, and in turn use exponents for repeated multiplication. What topic comes after this, for repeated exponentials? Is there something my …

May 21, 2018 · When rigorously laying out foundations of all of analysis, the usual method is to use the definition $$ a^b = \exp (b \log (a)) $$ While you could try and define exponentiation directly, it is …

Nov 3, 2017 · Rather than trying to press complex exponentiation into the mold of repeated multiplication, see complex exponentiation -- or more fundamentally, the function $\exp$ -- as its own …

Dec 18, 2023 · I was wondering why addition has one inverse (subtraction), multiplication has one inverse (division), but exponentiation has two (radication and logarithm). After a bit of thinking, I …

Feb 3, 2015 · I was wondering, what is the order of operations when it comes to multi level exponents. Couldn't find anything in google. Something like: $$n^{n-1^{n-2^{\\cdots^1 ...

Aug 19, 2014 · Further to Asaf's comment: >In some parts of set theory where this notation can be confused with other types of exponentiation, you can see the notation $^BA$ used instead. Thanks …
