Exponents

This was the best break ever. I hope that everyone had a good Mardi Gra break. We took an exam on chapter 5. The easiest section in chapter 5 was when it was dealing with rational exponents.

Ration exponents:


Formulas:
A(t)=A0b^(t/k)
-A0 is starting point
-b is halfing, doubling, ect
-t is time and k is time it takes to get to b

Examples:
3rd root of square root of x= x^1/3

(16/100)^1/2= square root of 16/square root of 100 which can be simplified to 2/5

27^2x=3^2
(3^3)^2x=3^2
3^6x=3^2
6x=2
x=1/3
