Exponents

So, I will be writing about exponents today. Exponents are pretty simple, for example, what is 5^2 would simply be 5 * 5 which would make 25. Pretty easy right? Well here’s where it gets complicated in the negative exponents. But let me show you something, 9^-2 seems pretty hard but all you do is put a 1/ over the answer to the exponent but positive, your answer would be 1/81. If you are doing fraction like 3/4^-2. You simply just flip the numbers, making it 4/3 and the act as if the exponent is positive, resulting in 16/9. Also, remember that if anything has an exponent of ^1 is is just the original number. However, if it is an exponent of ^0 remember that it is ALWAYS 1. And that is exponents.
