Indices Higher Mathematics What are Indices Indices are a mathematical shorthand If, we have: We can say that this is: 3 multiplied by itself 5 times We write this as: pronounced 3 to the power 5 3 is the BASE 5 is the POWER or INDEX
Indices Higher Mathematics What are Indices The plural of INDEX is is written in INDEX form also known as power form or power notation INDICES So,
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices Consider the following What can we make of it ? Can we generalise to make a rule ?
Indices Higher Mathematics 3 times 4 times 7 times
Indices Higher Mathematics m times n times m + n times Generalising
Indices Higher Mathematics When multiplying We ADD the indices Generalising
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – to MULTIPLY you ADD the indices
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices Consider the following What can we make of it ? Can we generalise to make a rule ?
Indices Higher Mathematics 5 times 2 times 2 terms on the bottom will cancel out 2 terms on the top
Indices Higher Mathematics 5 times 2 times terms 2 terms on the bottom will cancel out 2 terms on the top
Indices Higher Mathematics m times n times m - n terms n terms on the bottom will cancel out n terms on the top Generalising
Indices Higher Mathematics When dividing We SUBTRACT the indices Generalising
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – to DIVIDE you SUBTRACT the indices
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices Consider the following What can we make of it ? Can we generalise to make a rule ?
Indices Higher Mathematics 3 times 4 times 4 3 terms
Indices Higher Mathematics m times n times m n terms
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – for POWERS you MULTIPLY the indices
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? What meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics 3 times Recall division
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – anything to the power of 0 is 1
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? What meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics 3 times 2 times Recall division
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – anything to the power of 1 is itself
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? What meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics 3 times 4 times Recall division
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices a ‘minus’ index means ‘1 over’ A useful way of remembering this
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? What meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics 2 times 5 times Recall division
Indices Higher Mathematics m times m +n times Generalising
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – minus means 1 over Express in positive index form
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? What meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics Recall multiplication ButSo, Hence Thus
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? What meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics Recall multiplication and, Hence Thus n times
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – fraction denominator gives the root Express in root form
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? What meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics Recall powers Thus So,But,
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices What can we make of it ? Can we deduce a meaning from what we know so far ? Finally, what meaning can we give to
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Remember – fraction denominator gives the root Express in root form Remember – fraction numerator gives the power
Indices Higher Mathematics Recall Then and,
Indices Higher Mathematics Examples Express in root form Remember – minus means 1 over
Indices Higher Mathematics Rules of Indices Multiplying Dividing Powers
Indices Higher Mathematics Special Indices Power of 0 Power of 1
Indices Higher Mathematics Negative and Fractional Indices Negative Fraction Negative fraction minus means ‘1 over’
