To type an exponent use the ^ which points up to
\n" ); document.write( "where exponents are supposed to go, and then
\n" ); document.write( "put the exponent in parentheses, like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2^(x+3) - 5 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Take logs of both sides\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Use the principle \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by log(2)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Subtract 3 from both sides:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
