...exponent equal to 3x5; thus, (a i ) i = a 1 i, and, generally, (a") m =a nm . Hence, the logarithm of the power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the pmver. To extract the 5th root of the number a1, we write a, giving it an exponent equal to f; thus,... | |
