When two whole numbers are subtracted does it affect the difference?
When you subtract one number from another, the result is called the difference. What does your question mean? If by "when two whole numbers are subtracted" you mean that you subtract one whole number from the minuend, and then you subtract another whole number from the difference, then the answer you get is another difference. In effect, you have one minuend and two subtrahends.
Can you have more than one exponent on top of a number?
Yes, you can, but it starts getting complicated. You can, for example have a number raised to an exponent that is itself a number raised to an exponent, or you can have a number raised to an exponent and the result raised to another exponent.
What is the number when the reciprocal of three times a number is subtracted from the reciprocal of the number the result is one sixths?

How do you determine percentage of growth from one number to another?
You do the following: 1) Divide the second number by the first. This will give you a factor, for example 1.20. 2) Subtract 1 from the result. This gives you the increase as a factor, for example, 0.20. 3) Multiply the result by 100, to convert to a percentage. In this example, 20%.
What is infinity - 1?
This is a hard concept to understand, since infinity is not a definite number. It can keep carrying on forever, which makes it a surreal number. However, 1 can be measured by infinity as well, due to the never ending amount of decimal places, for example, 1 x 10^-6 [0.000001], 1 x 10^-12 [0.000000000001] and so on. So, since it is impossible to determine the boundary of infinity, for 1 and for infinity itself, it is most agreed that the result will still be infinity, for whatever sum or subtraction you do, excluding infinity - infinity (0).
