(xm) x (xn) = x(m + n)

power of a product
(xm) / (xn) = x(m - n)

negative exponent
(xm)n = x(m x n)

quotient law
(xy)m = xm x ym

power of a power
(x/y)m =xm / ym

product law
x(-m) = 1 / xm

power of a quotient

Tangram

The tangramis a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to form a specific shape (given only an outline or silhouette) using all seven pieces, which may not overlap. It is reputed to have been invented in China during the Song Dynasty, and then carried over to Europe by trading ships in the early 19th century. It became very popular in Europe for a time then, and then again during World War I. It is one of the most popular dissection puzzles in the world.

La Estadística nos abre cada día más puertas para conocer la probabilidad de ocurrencia de sucesos de diversos ámbitos. En un futuro cercano seremos capaces de pronosticar, con una alta probabilidad, el color de ojos de una persona antes de nacer, la aparición de determinadas enfermedades como el Alzheimer o la producción de erupciones volcánicas. Sin embargo, aún quedarán muchas preguntas sin responder como, por ejemplo, si nos tocará la lotería o el momento exacto en el que se producirá un terremoto. Algunos fenómenos pueden predecirse y otros no. El interesante reportaje Predicciones del programa tres14 (RTVE) nos cuenta cómo pueden llegar a pronosticarse ciertos eventos y por qué otros son imposibles de vaticinar. ¿Te lo vas a perder?
