Law of Indices

What you need to learn in this topic

1. Relate the multiplication of numbers in index form with the same base, to repeated multiplications, and hence make generalisation
2. Relate the division of numbers in index form with the same base, to repeated multiplications, and hence make generalisation
3. Relate the numbers in index form raised to a power, to repeated multiplication, and hence make generalisation
4. Verify that a^0 = 1 and a^(-n) = 1/(a^n); a not equal to 0
5. Determine and state the relationship between fractional indices and roots and powers
6. Perform operations involving laws of indices
7. Solve problems involving laws of indices
