Linear Functions
A function `f` defined by an equation of the form `y=mx+b`, where `m` and `b` are real numbers, is a LINEAR function and can be written `f(x)=mx+b`.
If that is too confusing, forget the `f(x)` and just substitute `y` instead. Solve for the `f(x)` given the values specified in the domain (the `x` values) .

Exponents and More!
Exponents and More with Exponents
For like bases, we have:
- Rule: `a^0=1`
- Rule: to multiply we do `a^m⋅a^n=a^(m+n)
- Rule: to divide, we do `a^m/a^n=a^(m-n)`
- Rule: for negative exponent, we can express them as positive by, `a^(-m)=1/a^m
- Rule: for raising a power to another power, `(a^m)^n=a^(mn)`
- Rule: for raising a product to a power, `(ab)^n=a^n⋅b^n`
- Rule: for raising a quotient to a power, `(a/b)^n=a^n/b^n`
Remember and MEMORIZE THESE RULES for Lessons 1 and 2. Practice here!
