Let's begin by looking at what happens when numbers between 0 and 1 are raised to exponents. Untried Determine the following values: ( 1 2 ) 2 = ( 1 2 ) 3 = ( 1 2 ) 4 = Order the values of 1 2 , ( 1 2 ) 2 , ( 1 2 ) 3 , and ( 1 2 ) 4 from largest to smallest. - 1 2 - ( 1 2 ) 2 - ( 1 2 ) 3 - ( 1 2 ) 4 When a number between 0 and 1 (not including 0 and 1) is raised to a positive integer exponent greater than 1... the result is larger than the original number. the result is identical to the original number. the result is smaller than the original number. When a number larger than 1 is raised to a positive integer exponent greater than 1... the result is larger than the original number. the result is smaller than the original number. the result is identical to the original number
