| ChromaticAngel 07/28/17 3:32:34 PM #37: | Damn_Underscore posted... 6^2 = (6*6) or (6)(6) not 6(6) 6(6) is a fundamentally equivalent statement to 6^2 for all algebraic context when observed in isolation. you can even rewrite the equation as (6*6*3) / 2 and get the same result because you rewrote the ÷ 2(3) part as multiplying by the reciprocal of 2 which is then further multiplied by 3/1 exponents are shorthand for longform multiplication. it's so if I want to write something like 10^700 I don't have to write 10*10*10*10... (700 total times). They're an algebraically equivalent statement. Division is shorthand for multiply by the reciprocal, and subtraction is shorthand for negate and sum.
