       4 9 Write the following as a single exponent and evaluate /21/31/16 Write the following fractions in index form. Write the following as fractional powers. a m x a n = a m+n Multiplication Rule a m  a n = a m-n Division Rule a 0 = 1 Negative Index Rulea -n = 1/a n

The Rules for IndicesDivision Consider the following: a m  a n = a m-n Division Rule Generalising gives: Using this convention for indices means that: For division of numbers in the same base you?subtract the indices a 0 = 1 In general: and Generalising gives: Negative Index Rule

a m x a n = a m+n Consider the following: x = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 3 5 (base 3) x = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2 7 (base 2) x x 5 = 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 5 6 (base 5) For multiplication of numbers in the same base you?
