How are the laws of rational exponents similar to laws of integer exponents?
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
Which of the two Properties of Exponents require that the base of the exponent be the same in order to use that property?
i don no:(
What are rational exponents and how are they related to integer exponents?
A rational exponent means that you use a fraction as an exponent, for example, 10 to the power 1/3. These exponents are interpreted as follows, for example:10 to the power 1/3 = 3rd root of 1010 to the power 2/3 = (3rd root of 10) squared, or equivalently, 3rd root of (10 squared)
How does a carpenter use exponents?
A carpenter won't usually have much use for exponents, or other advanced math topics.
A superscript number tells you to multiply the base number by itself that many times?
Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer. However, negative and fractional exponents are also defined; you can verify this with any scientific calculator (use a positive number as the base, in this case).Note: In a number such as 103, 10 is the base, 3 is the exponent.Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer.
