Rules
a^n = a×a×...n times। 2^10 = 1024। a^0 = 1। a^(-n) = 1/a^n। Compound interest uses powers: A = P(1+r)^n। JEE/NEET: exponent rules heavily tested।
Applications
Compound interest, population growth, Richter scale (each step = 10×)।
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
The most practical exponent in everyday life: the Rule of 72. Divide 72 by the interest rate to estimate how many years it takes to double your money. At 8% return: 72÷8 = 9 years to double. This is compound interest (exponents) made simple enough for mental math.
