minus-squareGlobulart@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-29 months agoThis isn’t strictly speaking a proof, but it did help me to accept it as it demonstrates the function that makes it 1. 2^3 = 2x2x2 2^2 = 2x2 (23)/(22) = (2x2x2)/(2x2) = 2 = 2^(3-2) In general terms: (xa)/(xb) = x^(a-b) If a and b are the same number this is x^0 and obviously (xa)/(xa) is one because anything divided by itself is 1. Hope that helps

minus-squareLemmysMum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-29 months agoIt’s just 1+1-1 with more steps, I don’t see the problem.
minus-squareFlumsy@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·9 months agoThat was pretty complicated, here is a simpler answer I hsve come up with: 1=(2x2x2)/(2x2x2)=2³/2³=2³⁻³＝2⁰ If that makes sense to you…
This isn’t strictly speaking a proof, but it did help me to accept it as it demonstrates the function that makes it 1.
2^3 = 2x2x2
2^2 = 2x2
(23)/(22) = (2x2x2)/(2x2) = 2
= 2^(3-2)
In general terms:
(xa)/(xb) = x^(a-b)
If a and b are the same number this is x^0 and obviously (xa)/(xa) is one because anything divided by itself is 1.
Hope that helps
