24.1.5 One Unified Set of Power Rules

Core idea

Same base multiplied adds exponents, a power of a power multiplies them, and these same rules hold perfectly for fractional exponents too.

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
