If exponentiation is considered as a multivalued function then the possible values of (−1 ⋅ −1) 1/2 are {1, −1}. The identity holds, but saying {1} = {(−1 ⋅ −1) 1/2 } is incorrect. The identity ( e x ) y = e xy holds for real numbers x and y , but assuming its truth for complex numbers leads to the following paradox , discovered ...
Cycles of the unit digit of multiples of integers ending in 1, 3, 7 and 9 (upper row), and 2, 4, 6 and 8 (lower row) on a telephone keypad Figure 1 is used for multiples of 1, 3, 7, and 9. Figure 2 is used for the multiples of 2, 4, 6, and 8.

When two different units are multiplied or divided, the result is a new unit, referred to by the combination of the units. For instance, in SI, the unit of speed is metre per second (m/s). See dimensional analysis. A unit can be multiplied by itself, creating a unit with an exponent (e.g. m 2 /s 2). Put simply, units obey the laws of indices.
As a simplified example, if a beamline runs for 8 hours (28 800 seconds) at an instantaneous luminosity of 300 × 10 30 cm −2 ⋅s −1 = 300 μb −1 ⋅s −1, then it will gather data totaling an integrated luminosity of 8 640 000 μb −1 = 8.64 pb −1 = 0.008 64 fb −1 during this period. If this is multiplied by the cross-section ...
A unit fraction is a common fraction with a numerator of 1 (e.g., 1 / 7 ). Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 2 −2, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two, e.g. 1 / 8 = 1 / 2 3 .
Four bags with three marbles per bag gives twelve marbles (4 × 3 = 12). Multiplication can also be thought of as scaling. Here, 2 is being multiplied by 3 using scaling, giving 6 as a result. Animation for the multiplication 2 × 3 = 6 4 × 5 = 20. The large rectangle is made up of 20 squares, each 1 unit by 1 unit.
