>>14357835>>14357841exponentiation is nothing but instancing the previous result with the number at the base
e.g
2^4= ((((2)*2)*2)*2)
where
=(((4)*2)*2)
and so on...
=((8)*2)
=(16) which is the Answer
same can be applied to any number.
where the base is the number to be used for multiplication and the exponent is the number of time it will multiply itself taking the result into consideration.
in the same way
3^5= (((((3)*3)*3)*3)*3)
which will give
=((((9)*3)*3)*3)
=(((27)*3)*3)
=((81)*3)
=(243) which is the answer
if we take
0^4
it will give 0 as a result because nothing is being instance or rather you are just multiplying 0 with its previous result which is also 0.
=((((0)*0)*0)*0)
=0 is the answer as expected.
in the same negative integer can be used, but rather than multiplying you divide the previous result.
for e.g.
2^-5= (((((2)/(1/2)/(1/2)/(1/2)/(1/2)/(1/2)
long story short it will result in 0.03125
because you are dividing 2 by 5 instances.
in the same way 0^(-1) will also equal zero because you can't divide zero by zero, even if you do it 50 times.
Also 1^0 = 0
stop being a nigger.
