Making Exponents in HTML

Hi everyone,

Great start with the posts! I like how you've included an example of what we're learning in class and also the daily assignment. You can also post an example that didn't make sense at first but now you understand (maybe you can explain it in a way that your classmates will understand) or post an example that you still don't understand so that if another classmate understands, they can comment on your post and help you (and everyone else!)

Here's some HTML coding that will help you with the exponents.

When you're writing your post, Switch from the "Compose" tab to the "Edit Html" at the top right of the composing box. Type the code <sup> before the exponent and the code </sup> after the exponent.

For example, 8<sup>1/3</sup>=2 will give you 81/3=2.

Hope this helps! Happy writing!

A T1-85 calculator is a graphing calculator. A graphing calculator has a small computer-type screen that enables you to store a sequence of calculations (hitting "enter" just moves you to the next line), and observe graphs. This calculator also has a number of math functions built into it. It doesn't matter in this question, just that a graphing calculator could display a larger number than the scientific calculator that you have.
