@darkghost Thank you. I used startpage, but I doubt the other engines would have done any better. It seemed like no matter how I typed it, it only brought up exponent rules and no matter what I looked at they never mentioned this, so I guess this is a case where an LLM actually came in handy. I did come to the conclusion that has to be the case after seeing that when I couldn't find the info though, it made sense.

Alright, one more question. Yes, I know this says precalculus, but I was looking at this video: [https link] and understood everything except for why the middle factor at 7:15 has a power of 1. Is it because of the variable's implied power of 1, or because any term/factor in math that doesn't show an exponent has an implied power of 1 like lone variables? Thanks to wonderful SEO searching for this only brought up basic exponent rules, and I had to end up asking a couple of LLMs that said so,...
