What Is the Difference Between Exponents?

In mathematics, the difference between exponents refers to subtracting the value of one exponential expression from another, typically represented as \( a^n - b^m \). The process involves calculating each exponential value individually before performing the subtraction.

Example: Calculate \( 3^4 - 5^2 \)

Solution:

\( 3^4 = 81 \)

\( 5^2 = 25 \)

Subtract: \( 81 - 25 = 56 \)

How to Input Data

Input your expressions as a^n, b^m, c^p, where ^ separates the base and exponent, and comma (, ), semicolon (; ) or line breaks to separate individual expressions.

Examples

Example 1: Calculate \( 7^2 - 4^3 \)

Solution:

Input (comma separated): 7^2, 4^3

Steps:

First exponent: \( 7^2 = 49 \)

Second exponent: \( 4^3 = 64 \)

Subtract:

\( 49 - 64 = -15 \)

Result: The difference between \( 7^2, 4^3 \) is \( -15 \).

Example 2: Calculate \( 3^4 - 2^5 - 6^2 \)

Solution:

Input (semicolon separated): 3^4; 2^5; 6^2

Steps:

First exponent: \( 3^4 = 81 \)

Second exponent: \( 2^5 = 32 \)

Third exponent: \( 6^2 = 36 \)

Subtract:

\( 81 - 32 - 36 = 13 \)

Result: The difference between \( 3^4, 2^5, 6^2 \) is \( 13 \).
