Power Law - Which is Larger With Shared Factor in Exponent (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on comparing the magnitudes of numbers expressed with large exponents. It involves evaluating which of two given exponential expressions is larger, where base numbers and their exponents differ. Specific scenarios include comparing numbers such as \(11^{200}\) versus \(5^{300}\), or \(2^{5000}\) versus \(3^{3000}\). This topic is a part of a broader unit on negative, fractional, and power laws of exponents, helping students develop their skills in understanding and manipulating exponential expressions in various contexts.
