This math topic focuses on solving for missing exponents using the power law, a fundamental concept in exponents. Each problem presents equations where the base and/or exponent are either a prime or a composite number, and the task is to find the unknown exponent that makes the equation true. Problems are written to strengthen understanding of how to manipulate and simplify expressions involving powers and to develop skills in algebraic thinking related to exponential relationships. The problems incrementally build on the concept of exponents by exploring different bases and their corresponding powers.
