Year 8 Laws of Indices Dr J Frost Last modified: 29 th August 2015

“Power” or “index” (plural: “indices”) or “exponent” 3434 ? “Base” ? The whole expression is sometimes (confusingly) referred to as a ‘power’ or ‘power expression’. Terminology Recap   We say this as “3 to the power of 4” or “3 raised to the power of 4” or “3 to the 4”.

3 5 × 3 4 How would I write this multiplication out in full? Therefore, how could I write the result of this multiplication in the form 3 k ? 3939 ? Multiplying Power Expressions with the Same Base

a b × a c = a b+c ? 1 st Law of Indices 

How would I write this multiplication out in full? Therefore, how could I write the result of this multiplication in the form 4 k ? 4545 ? Dividing power expressions with the same base

abacabac = a b-c ? 2 nd Law of Indices 

(4 2 ) 3 How would I write this multiplication out in full? Therefore, how could I write the result of this multiplication in the form 4 k ? 4646 ? Raising a power to a power 

(a b ) c = a bc ? 3 rd Law of Indices 

3 -1 At this point, it doesn’t make sense to say “Multiply 3 by itself negative 1 times”. We’ll have to use a different approach! 3 3 = = = = = 3 -2 = ? ? Is there a pattern we can see that will help us out? Zero and negative indices ?

a 0 = 1 a -b = a 1 = a 1ab1ab Final Laws of Indices 

Instructions: Everyone starts by standing up. You’ll get a question with a time limit to answer. If you run out of time or get the question wrong, you sit down. The winner is the last man standing.

? ? ? ? Challenges ?

Exercise 1 Simplify the following. 1 Please ensure you write out the question. 2 Simplify the following. 3 Evaluate the following (i.e. give as a fraction or integer with no power) 4 Simplify the following. 11 22 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

(Hint: can we express 9 as a power of 3 perhaps?) ? Changes of Base Solve the following equation. Express as a single power. ? The strategy therefore is to find what both bases are a power of (e.g. 4 and 8 are both powers of 2), and replace them as such.

A few more examples… ?? Express as a single power of 3: ? Solve

2 8 = 4 x x = = 9 x x = 6 ? x = 4 ? 8 x = 4 12 ? x = x = ? Test Your Understanding Express as a single power: ? ?

Exercise 2 Please ensure you write out the question. Solve the following. Express as a single power  ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
