  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_exponents

    In the base ten number system, integer powers of 10 are written as the digit 1 followed or preceded by a number of zeroes determined by the sign and magnitude of the exponent. For example, 10 3 = 1000 and 10 −4 = 0.0001. Exponentiation with base 10 is used in scientific notation to denote large or small numbers.

  3. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    These are the three main logarithm laws/rules/principles, [3] from which the other properties listed above can be proven. Each of these logarithm properties correspond to their respective exponent law, and their derivations/proofs will hinge on those facts. There are multiple ways to derive/prove each logarithm law – this is just one possible ...

  4. Reciprocal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_rule

    In calculus, the reciprocal rule gives the derivative of the reciprocal of a function f in terms of the derivative of f.The reciprocal rule can be used to show that the power rule holds for negative exponents if it has already been established for positive exponents.

  5. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    This is also argued to link five fundamental constants with three basic arithmetic operations, but, unlike Euler's identity, without rearranging the addends from the general case: = ⁡ + ⁡ = + An interpretation of the simplified form e iτ = 1 is that rotating by a full turn is an identity function.

  6. Power rule - Wikipedia

    Solving for , = = = = = Thus, the power rule applies for rational exponents of the form /, where is a nonzero natural number. This can be generalized to rational exponents of the form p / q {\displaystyle p/q} by applying the power rule for integer exponents using the chain rule, as shown in the next step.

  7. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    Inputs An integer b (base), integer e (exponent), and a positive integer m (modulus) Outputs The modular exponent c where c = b e mod m. Initialise c = 1 and loop variable e′ = 0; While e′ < e do Increment e′ by 1; Calculate c = (b ⋅ c) mod m; Output c; Note that at the end of every iteration through the loop, the equation c ≡ b e ...

  8. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    There is no standard notation for tetration, though Knuth's up arrow notation and the left-exponent are common. Under the definition as repeated exponentiation, n a {\displaystyle {^{n}a}} means a a ⋅ ⋅ a {\displaystyle {a^{a^{\cdot ^{\cdot ^{a}}}}}} , where n copies of a are iterated via exponentiation, right-to-left, i.e. the application ...

  9. Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for specific exponents

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_Fermat's_Last...

    This unique factorization property is the basis on which much of number theory is built. One consequence of this unique factorization property is that if a p th power of a number equals a product such as x p = uv. and if u and v are coprime (share no prime factors), then u and v are themselves the p th power of two other numbers, u = r p and v ...
