Exponential Notation: Section 2.1 - Defining A Power

The document defines exponents and properties of exponents. It states that an exponent indicates the number of times a base is used as a factor. It also notes that the product of an even number of negative numbers is positive, while the product of an odd number of negative numbers is negative. It defines that for any number a, a1 = a and a0 = 1, except 00 is undefined. The document concludes with an exercise set involving evaluating exponents, determining if expressions are positive or negative, arranging exponents in order, and writing true sentences comparing exponents.
