14. Adding Exponential
Terms
• In order to add exponential terms, both
the base and the exponent must be the
same. Otherwise, they must be multiplied
out before they can be added.

18. POD 4 Sep
• Today, the United States National Debt (how much we
owe) is projected to pass $16,000,000,000,000. The
number of taxpaying citizens in the U.S. population is a
little more than 100,000,000. If the debt is divided
equally among all taxpaying citizens, how much does
each taxpayer owe?
