What Is Exponentiation? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Mar 8, 2014 · 3. Exponentiation can be defined by parts: This is a very roughy way to describe it: When n is a natural number, we can define exponentiation recursively setting x0 = 1 and xn + 1 = x ⋅ xn. In case that x ≠ 0 we can extent this definition for negative integers setting x …
exponentiation - How can I intuitively understand complex …
Nov 3, 2017 · 2. A more natural way to extend exponentiation to complex numbers is to note that ex is the unique solution to the differential equation y = y, y(0) = 1. Replace y, x with w, z, and you have a differential equation of complex functions on …
exponentiation - What comes after exponents? - Mathematics …
Sep 10, 2013 · Your teachers aren’t hiding what comes next after exponentiation, it’s just that such a “fourth operation” doesn’t seem to have any practical application. The expression x x, useful in ballistics, can be thought of as x “operated on” by 2 (using the fourth operation) but that’s rather stretching to find an example.
exponentiation - What's the inverse operation of exponents ...
Oct 3, 2014 · Addition and multiplication are commutative, so there is just one inverse function. Exponents are not commutative; 28 ≠82 2 8 ≠ 8 2. So we need two different inverse functions. Given be = r b e = r, we have the " n n th root" operation, b = r√e b = r e. It turns out that this can actually be written as an exponent itself: r√e =r1/e r e ...
exponentiation - Complex Exponent of Complex Numbers
A Complex number with a Complex Exponent: [Using previous variables] C ∈C, C = a + bi | reiθ, θ = arg C. Cz = (a + ib)z. [After previous mistake the following notes are inaccurate] Cz =ax[cos(y ln a) + i sin(y ln a)] + ibxibiy. And this is as far as I could go as …

exponentiation - Prove that $i^i$ is a real number
Sep 5, 2012 · Over the reals, the concept that "exponentiation = repeated multiplication" breaks down when you have non-integer exponents, so you have to start defining exponentiation using suprema of sets, which exploits the ordered field nature of the reals. The complex field is not an ordered field, so the equivalent notion of a supremum doesn't exist.

category theory - Use of exponentiation in topos logic
Dec 7, 2020 · 4. I'm learning about topos theory and its many uses in (intuitionistic) logic. The definition of an elementary topos C C requires the category to have exponentiation, that is, given C C -objects A A and B B, there exists another C C -object BA B A which is "the object of all A → B A → B morphisms". Now, when developing the propositional ...
exponentiation - order of operations with many level exponents ...
No. 4^3^2 = 4^6 ; It does not equal 4^9. Multiple exponents evaluated from left to right. (4^3)^2. The power is 2*3=6. Because. First you get 4*4*4, and square that. It's alway true that you can multiply the exponents if there arent parenthesis grouping them in some way. 4^3^2^5 = 4^30.
