📘 Basics of Exponents | Calculus - Appendix B This video is episode one of our Calculus 1 series. The appendix videos offer a quick refresher on key algebra concepts you'll need for calculus. In this video we'll exponents, rules of exponents, and rules for radicals, as well as how radicals relate to exponents! Exponents can be a stumbling block in calculus, especially if it's been a while since you've reviewed them. This quick refresher will get you back on track. 🔍 What You’ll Learn: What exponents really mean. Rules of exponents (product, quotient, power, zero, negative, fractional) Rules for radicals and how they connect to exponents 📈 Exponents are everywhere in calculus, especially when dealing with exponential growth, decay, and derivatives. Understanding how they behave will make everything that comes next feel way easier. 👉 Next Up: Inequalities 🎓 This video is part of my Intro to Calculus series, designed to build a deep, intuitive understanding of every concept from the ground up. 📺 Watch the full Intro to Calculus playlist here: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLipCN46-k1_vUmvkP0-TEhVJN5LgU9eSA 🔔 Subscribe to follow along and build your calculus skills step by step! 👍 Like the video if it helped, and drop questions in the comments below. 🧾 Affiliate Links 📚 Tools & Resources I Recommend Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 3rd Edition → https://amzn.to/3GFjNmj A great textbook that covers everything from limits to multivariable calculus with clear examples.
