What Have We Discussed?
Very large numbers are difficult to read, understand, compare and operate upon. To make all these easier, we use
The following are exponential forms of some numbers:
243 = 3
Here, 10, 3 and 2 are the
We also say, 10,000 is the
Numbers in exponential form obey certain laws called law of exponents, which are:
For any non-zero integers a and b and whole numbers m and n,
