An exponent has to have a base, and if the base isn't
specified (like this case) it's always
So far I have
which is . . . carried out times
In the equation
, the way to read this is:
" is the exponent to the base that gives me
So, now I have

It's important to note that I'm just saying the same thing a different way
This equation reads:
"What exponent do I raise to to get ?"
Note that

and

So, the answer is
Again, if you don't read these things right, you'll never get them
