Check out this paradox:
![\[-1=-1^1=-1^\frac{2}{2}=((-1)^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(1)^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{1}=1\]](https://tentotwelvemath.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-03a8faf586550a49a22878090281bb59_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
There are a few peculiarities with fractional exponents, and so mathematicians have agreed on some rules (conditions under which the laws hold or do not hold) to keep things straight …To avoid unwittingly wandering in the land of the mathematically absurd (or perhaps to find a highway to the land of the mathematically absurd), follow this link.
