Description

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `integer`

→ Used by:

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Advice

Recall the laws of indices:

$x^a \times x^b = x^{a+b}$
$x^a \div x^b = x^{a-b}$
$x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a}$
$(x^a)^b = x^{ab}$
$(\frac{x}{y})^a = \frac{x^a}{y^a}$
$x^\frac{a}{b} = (\sqrt[b]{x})^{a}$
$x^0 = 1$
