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 …

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 …

May 27, 2024 · I was taught my whole life that if I want to get rid of a root I should just do the inverse and ''exponentiate that with its index'' and now I just learn that roots aren't the inverse of …

Exponentiation is not associative, and it shouldn't be, because in many more general cases its two inputs are different types of things. Therefore, there's no reason to expect repeated exponentiation 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
