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? Multiplication Rule 3434 base 3 index base 5 index 3 add the indices Generalising gives: x x x x x x x 2 2 Write the following as a single exponent: The Rules for Indices:Multiplication
