24.1.6 Estimating Powers with a Calculator
Core ideaComputing 2 to the 0.5 power or 2 to the 1.7 power gives real numbers, collecting a string of points ready for drawing an exponential curve.
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
