Why does the base of an exponent have to be greater then 1

It's not 1 that is exactly the problem. It is also 0. And perhaps - 1 although that is a lot trickier than the other two.

Let's start with one. It give 1^1 = 1 for a power of 1. It gives 1^2 = 1 * 1 for a power of 2. It will give 1^100000 = 1 for a power of 100000.

So the base can be 1 but it is known that any power won't change it's value.

The same can be said of 0. 0^1000 = 0^1 = 0. 0^0 is really a bad dude. You won't learn about that for awhile.

(-1)^11 is different from (-1)^10. The first gives -1 and the second gives 1. So you have to be careful with -1.

There is nothing wrong with (1/4)^3. The power of three and the base of 1/4 are fine. The answer is (1/4)*(1/4) * (1/4) = 1/64 which is perfectly good answer.

It works for negatives too. (-1/2)^3 = - 1/8

Serjik [45]

Answer:

ΔABC≅ΔDEF by AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that \angle A\cong\angle D, \angle C\cong \angle F for the included angle, and BC\cong EF for our side. Thus, the AAS Theorem proves that the triangles are congruent to each other

Katen [24]

Answer:

The area of the wall that she will paint in two rolls is <u>219.8 inches²</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jenny uses a roller to paint a wall. The roller has a radius of 1.75 inches and a height of 10 inches.

Now, to find the area of the wall that she will paint in two rolls.

So, we find the lateral surface area of roller.

Radius (r) = 1.75 inches.

Height (h) = 10 inches.

So, to get the lateral surface area we put formula:

A_{L} =2\pi rh

A_L=2\times 3.14\times 1.75\times 10

A_L=109.9\ inches^2.

Thus, the lateral surface area of the roller = 109.9 inches².

Now, to get the area of wall that she will paint in two rolls we multiply 2 by the lateral surface area of the roller:

109.9\times 2\\\\=219.8\ inches^2.

Therefore, the area of the wall that she will paint in two rolls is 219.8 inches².
