  • Indices Rules
    • a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)
      • times: add the powers
    • a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n)
      • Divide: subtract the powers
      • Only when base number is the same
        • a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)
          • times: add the powers
        • Divide: subtract the powers
    • (a^m)^n =    a^mn
      • When raising a power to a power: times the powers
    • a^0 = 1
      • a^1=a
    • a^(?m) = 1/a^m
      • When raising a number to a negative power: the reciprocal of the number to the power of the index.
    • a^(p/q)=(q?a)^p
      • Raising a number to a fraction: the denominator becomes the "root" and the numerator becomes the "power"
        • a^(1/q) = q?a
