This math topic focuses on the application of exponentiation rules, specifically solving equations involving powers and exponents. The problems entail finding a missing exponent (denoted as "?") when a base raised to a power (variable) is set equal to another base raised to an unknown power. Each question presents this challenge in increasingly complex forms, requiring the manipulation of exponents in reduced form, and applying the Power Law of exponents. Multiple choices are provided as potential answers, and learners must select the correct reduced form of the exponent based on the properties of exponents.
