Consider the following: So in general: Evaluate the following: Write in index form: Fractional Indices a m x a n = a m+n Multiplication Rule a m  a n = a m-n Division Rule a 0 = 1 (a m ) n = a mn Power Rule Negative Index Rule

Consider the following: So in general: Evaluate the following: Write in index form: Fractional Indices a m x a n = a m+n Multiplication Rule a m  a n = a m-n Division Rule a 0 = 1 (a m ) n = a mn Power Rule Negative Index Rule Unit Fraction Rule

Fractional Indices a m x a n = a m+n Multiplication Rule a m  a n = a m-n Division Rule a 0 = 1 (a m ) n = a mn Power Rule Negative Index Rule Unit Fraction Rule General Fraction Rule Evaluate the following:

Equations Involving Indices a m x a n = a m+n Multiplication Rule a m  a n = a m-n Division Rule a 0 = 1 (a m ) n = a mn Power Rule Negative Index Rule Unit Fraction Rule General Fraction Rule  6 2x = 6262  2x = 2  x = 1  (3 -1 ) x = 27  3 -x = 3  -x = 3  x = -3  3 x-1 = 9  = 3232  x - 1 = 2  x = 3 Solve the following: 6 2x = 36  2 x-9 = 32  2 x-9 = 2525  x - 9 = 5  x = 14
