PDF Surds and Indices

This document is from a notebook on surds and indices. It contains information, examples, and practice problems for developing an understanding of exponent laws including multiplication, division, zero and negative indices. It also covers the basic laws of surds, including defining surds, rational and irrational numbers, simplifying surds by finding perfect square factors, and examples and practice problems for working with surds. The learning intentions are to understand exponent laws and the basic laws of surds, and the success criteria are being able to simplify expressions using these laws.
