Repeated multiplication and beyond
Whole exponents repeat multiplication (2¹⁰ = 1,024). Negative exponents take reciprocals (2⁻³ = 1/8), and fractional exponents are roots: x^0.5 is √x, x^(1/3) the cube root. Anything to the 0 is 1.
Exponential growth intuition
Doubling ten times is ×1,024 — exponentials outrun intuition quickly, which is why compound interest, viral spread, and chip transistor counts all surprise. The rule of 72 (72 ÷ growth rate ≈ doubling time) turns exponents into headline numbers.
