Exponents - Introduction.


Before starting our course of exponent, root, and logarithms, first we must start from understanding the very basic of them: the exponent. In this post, we will review about powers, base number, and the exponent.

In this example:

ab

a  is the base number, and
b  is the exponent.


It could be called power of b.



Some special results from exponents are written below:
If a = 0, ab = 0.
If b = 0, ab = 1.

If a = 1, ab = 1.
If b = 1, ab = a.
