Further Exponents

There are rules for operating on numbers with exponents that make it easy to simplify and solve problems.

Numbers with negative exponents are treated normally in arithmetic operations and can be rewritten as fractions.

Rational exponents are another method for writing radicals and can be used to simplify expressions involving both exponents and roots.

Scientific notation is used to express a very large or small number in the form $m \cdot 10^n$, where $m$ has only one digit left of the decimal point.
