What does this PR add or change?

Adds a new Quant → Arithmetic → exponents-roots bundle, a previously uncovered but high-frequency GMAT Focus Quant topic:

  • 1 lesson (quant-arithmetic-exponents-roots) — power rules, negative/zero/fractional exponents, radical simplification, and factoring common powers, with worked examples and a common-traps section.
  • 7 problem-solving questions (00170023) with an easy→hard progression:
    • 0017 (easy) — product/quotient power rules
    • 0018 (easy) — negative & zero exponents
    • 0019 (medium) — solving a same-base equation
    • 0020 (medium) — fractional exponents / roots
    • 0021 (medium) — simplifying and adding radicals
    • 0022 (hard) — factoring a sum of equal powers
    • 0023 (hard) — ratio of powers, (x−y)/y
  • Each question's distractors are keyed to a specific common error (multiplying vs. adding exponents, merging unlike radicals, treating a sum of powers as a new base, dropping a −1 term).
  • Choice-level math is wrapped in \( \) so the study site renders it via KaTeX.
  • Rebuilt docs/data/content.json (now 39 questions, 9 lessons).

Type of change

  • New question(s)
  • New lesson(s)
  • Fix to existing content (answer / explanation / tag)
  • Tooling / docs / schema

Author checklist

  • This is my own original work — not copied or paraphrased from any real GMAT question or prep material.
  • Front-matter follows CONTENT_SCHEMA.md (id matches the filename; topic/subtopic exist in curriculum.md).
  • I solved every question myself and confirmed exactly one answer choice is correct.
  • Each explanation would help someone who got the question wrong, and names the trap where relevant.
  • status is in-review. I did not set my own content to verified.

For reviewers

  • I solved the question(s) without reading the keyed answer first and got the same answer.
  • Exactly one choice is correct; distractors are plausible.
  • Explanation and tags (section / topic / difficulty) are accurate.
  • If approving: bumped status to verified and added my handle to reviewers.

Add a new Arithmetic / exponents-roots bundle to the content bank — a
previously uncovered but high-frequency GMAT Focus Quant topic:

- 1 lesson (power rules, negative/zero/fractional exponents, radical
  simplification, factoring common powers).
- 7 problem-solving questions with an easy->hard difficulty progression,
  each with a worked explanation and hints, and distractors keyed to
  specific common errors (multiplying vs. adding exponents, merging
  unlike radicals, treating a sum of powers as a new base).

Choice-level math is wrapped in \( \) so the study site renders it via
KaTeX. Rebuilt docs/data/content.json (39 questions, 9 lessons).
