Sorry I am posting so much! I am just so excited to share my ideas with other people who are researching what I am researching!
Exponent Laws
-----------------
Recall that
(x^a)^b = x^(ab)
(x^a)(x^b)= x^(a+b)
Exponent Law 3
ZERATION exponent LAW (you already know this it's just a different way of looking at it....)
(x)(x^a) = x^(x o a)
Recall that
bth root (x^a) = x^(a/b)
(x^a)/(x^b) = x ^ (a-b)
Exponent Law 6
(x^a)/x = x^(a J x)
There!!! Notice how the pattern isn't only decreasing operations but decreasing combinations of operations. Notice how b is alone in the top and missing in the bottom. Notice how multiplication or division is present in each of the equations. Just thought it was neat!
