24.1.1 Revisiting Integer Powers
Core ideaMultiplying the same number several times is written as a to the n-th power, and a negative exponent just flips it into a reciprocal, written a^n and a^(-n).
Module goal. Building on square roots and integer powers, extend exponents to fractions so every rule of powers becomes one unified system, paving the way for exponential functions
