pls..help...its just really imp....any info about the history of multiplication property of exponents?

The term EXPONENT was introduced by Michael Stifel (1487-1567) in\n  1544 in Arithmetica integra.  He wrote, "Est autem 3 exponens ipsius octonarij, & 5 est exponens 32 & 8 est exponens numeri 256" (Smith vol. 2, page 521). \n\nThe Latin translates roughly as\n\n  But 3 is the exponent of that same eight, and 5 is the exponent of 32, and 8 is the exponent of the number 256.\n\nSee link below for more explanation

I | AUG is not correct.  You cannot differentiate power functions by the exponent rule.  (Even doing that, she made an error.)  The implicit differentiation done by Greg G is correct, or you can use the functional power rule:\n\nd(ƒ^g)/dx = (ƒ^g)*[(dƒ/dx)*(g/ƒ) + (dg/dx)*lnƒ]

When raising a power to a power, you multiply:\n\nx^2^3 = x^6\n\nWhen multiplying exponents with the same base, however, you add:\n\nx^2 * x^3 = x^5\n\nThe same rule applies to division, same base = subtract.\n\nx^2 / x^3 = x^(-1)\n\nI'm not quite sure what you mean by dividing exponents, but recall that exponential fractions are handled in a specific manner:\n\nx^(3/2) = SQRT(x)^3

a^24b^24\njust multiply the exponents\n\nhope thie helps!!!

If I understand you, the exponents are 3x+4, x, and 12, all to base 8. In multiplying the left hand side, add the exponents:\n(8 to the 3x+4) times 8 to the x equals 8 to the (3x plus 4 plus x).\nSo, 8 to the 4x plus 4 equals 8 to the 12.\n4x plus 4 equals 12\nx equals 2

Your question does not make sense, but the multiplication sign and the addition sign are not always interchangable. Life is not fair, life is  B!TC#

The World Champion largest number, listed in the last Guinness Book of Records is an upper bound, derived by R. L. Graham, from a problem in a part of combinatorics called Ramsey theory.\nGraham's number cannot be expressed using the conventional notation of powers, and powers of powers. If all the material in the universe were turned into pen and ink it would not be enough to write the number down. Consequently, this special notation, devised by Donald Knuth is necessary.\n3^3 means '3 cubed', as it often does in computer printouts.\n\n3^^3 means 3^(3^3), or 3^27, which is already quite large: 3^27 = 7,625,597,484,987, but is still easily written, especially as a tower of 3 numbers.\n\n3^^^3 = 3^^(3^^3), however, is 3^^7,625,597,484,987 = 3^(7,625,597,484,987^7,625,597... which makes a tower of exponents 7,625,597,484,987 layers high.\n\n3^^^^3 = 3^^^(3^^^3), of course. Even the tower of exponents is now unimaginably large in our usual notation, but Graham's number only starts here.\n\nConsider the number 3^^^...^^^3 in which there are 3^^^^3 arrows. A largish number!\n\nNext construct the number 3^^^...^^^3 where the number of arrows is the previous 3^^^...^^^3 number.\n\nAn incredible, ungraspable number! Yet we are only two steps away from the original ginormous 3^^^^3. Now continue this process, making the number of arrows in 3^^^...^^^3 equal to the number at the previous step, until you are 63 steps, yes, sixty-three, steps from 3^^^^3. That is Graham's number.\nThe link explains verious theories of large numbers.

Remember, multiplication is commutative. 25/9 = 25*(1/9) and (25/9)^2 is shorthand for (25/9)*(25/9) = 25*(1/9)*25*(1/9). Commutativity tells us that we can move around the numbers in the multiplication above, so we rearrange to form 25*25*(1/9)*(1/9) = 25^2*(1/9)^2 = (25^2)/(9^2).\nIn the future, just remember that if you have a fraction a/b, then (a/b)^n = (a^n)/(b^n). \nDivision and multiplication are very comfortable each other, as they are essentially the same operation.\nExplore the page in the source for any more questions you might have.

The Edifier has it right, but darned if I can follow the notation. You really need to see this written out like a textbook to understand what's going on.\n\nClick the link below in "sources" to see the answer hosted at my website www.calculus-help.com. Right now, Yahoo! answers, as far as I can tell, doesn't allow graphics, which makes it tricky to answer ANY math questions.\n\nPlease don't post math answers, guys, if the poster knows the answer but can't get there, and you get something completely different.

Its a method to speed up your multiplication. Doesn't always speed up the operation.\n------\nTry googling it. \nU may also want to google - 'Booth Algorithm'

The degree is the highest exponent on the variable.\nThe exponent of x is one.\nThus, the degree of 4x is 1.

first, do 2 to the 12th power (exponents take precedent over multiplication) which is 4096. Then multiply that by 86 and get 352256.  It's quite simple, really.

I think you are looking too much into it, but here we go. \n\nIf you have the equation x^2 and say we pick points x= -1, and 1. \n\nWhen you plug the x's into the equation you will get a positive answer. This is why whenever the exponent is even, it will always bounce off the x- axis, because there is no way for it to go negative.\n\nfor the second question, say we take x^2 and plug in the same points above.\n\n-1 ^ 3 gives you -1. This would mean that ever x = -# will have a negative y value which means it will cross the x- axis\n\nTry it with more equations and you will understand

1.54 x 10^7\n\njust ignore the brackets since everything is multiplication.\nmultiply 77 x .02 = 1.54\nand add exponents becuase its multiplication 4+3 = 7\n\ntherefore 1.54x10^7
