Homework Statement
How do you solve this probem for E:
E + sqrt(aE) = b
where 'a' and 'b' are constants.
I don't recall how to handle the exponents where you have E + aE^1/2 = b and solve for E.
An exponent is a mathematical notation that indicates the number of times a base number is multiplied by itself. It is written as a small superscript number to the right of the base number.
An exponent is read as "base number raised to the power of the exponent". For example, 5^2 is read as "5 raised to the power of 2" or "5 squared".
Exponents are used to represent repeated multiplication in a concise way. They are also used in various mathematical operations, such as solving equations and simplifying expressions.
The basic rules of exponents include the product rule (a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)), the quotient rule (a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)), and the power rule ((a^m)^n = a^(m*n)). There are also rules for negative exponents and zero exponents.
To solve problems involving exponents, you can use the basic rules of exponents, as well as the order of operations. It is also helpful to have a strong understanding of basic arithmetic and the properties of numbers.
