things that irks me
a**b * a**c == a**(b + c) != a**(b * c)
for exponentiation to distribute over multiplication, it must become addition, thus reinforcing the multiplication IS repeated addition?
- thaumasiotes 6y agoDistributivity of exponentiation over multiplication looks like (ab)^x = (a^x)(b^x) You're talking about "being exponentiated", not exponentiation. This one isn't a commutative operation.
