    This document discusses index notation and place value. It provides examples of writing numbers as repeated multiplications and using index notation. Some key points covered include: 1. An index is a shorthand way of writing repeated multiplication, with the base being the number multiplied and the index being the number of times it is multiplied. 2. Numbers can be written in expanded form using index notation by expressing each place value as a power of 10. 3. Examples show rewriting repeated multiplications using index notation, such as 34 x 36 = 310.

    NUMBER AND ALGEBRA NUMBER AND PLACE VALUE

    3A Index notation
    An index is a shorthand way of writing a repeated multiplication.
    The base is the number that is being multiplied and the index (or power) is the number of
    times it is multiplied.
    index (or power)
    2 2 2 2 = 24
    base

    WORKED EXAMPLE 1

    Write the following using index notation.


    a 5555555 b 333377

    THINK WRITE

    a 1 Write the multiplication. a 5555555


    2 Write the number being multiplied as the base = 57
    and the number of times it is written as the index.
    b 1 Write the multiplication. b 333377
    2 Write the number being multiplied as the base = 34 72
    and the number of times it is written as the index.

    By using place value, you can write numbers in expanded form with index notation.
    2700 = 2000 + 700 = 2 10 10 10 + 7 10 10 = 2 103 + 7 102

    WORKED EXAMPLE 2

    Write the following numbers in expanded form using index notation.


    a 59 176 b 108 009

    THINK WRITE

    a 1 Read the number to yourself, stating the place a


    values.
    2 Write the number as the sum of each place value. 59 176 = 50 000 + 9000 + 100 + 70 + 6

    3 Write each place value in multiples of 10. 59 176 = 5 10 10 10 10 + 9 10


    10 10 + 1 10 10 + 7
    10 + 6
    4 Write each place value in index notation. 59 176 = 5 104 + 9 103 + 1 102 + 7
    101 + 6
    b 1 Read the number to yourself stating the place b
    values.
    2 Write the number as the sum of each place value. 108 009 = 100 000 + 8000 + 9
    3 Write each place value in multiples of 10. 108 009 = 1 10 10 10 10 10
    + 8 10 10 10 + 9
    4 Write each place value in index notation. 108 009 = 1 105 + 8 103 + 9

    NUMBER AND ALGEBRA NUMBER AND PLACE VALUE

    WORKED EXAMPLE 3

    Simplify each of the following by first writing as a repeated multiplication and then using index
    notation.
    a 34 36 b (43)3 c (3 5)2

    THINK WRITE

    a 1 Write the question. a 34 36


    2 Write the question using repeated multiplication = (3 3 3 3) (3 3 3 3 3 3)
    (that is, in expanded form). =3333333333
    3 Write the repeated multiplication using index notation. = 310
    Note: 34 36 = 310.
    b 1 Write the question. b (43)3

    2 Write the question using repeated multiplication = 43 43 43


    (that is, in expanded form). = (4 4 4) (4 4 4) (4 4 4)
    =444444444
    3 Write the repeated multiplication using index notation. = 49
    Note: (43)3 = 49.
    c 1 Write the question. c (3 5)2
    2 Write the question using repeated multiplication = (3 5) (3 5)
    (that is, in expanded form). =3535
    =3355
    3 Write the repeated multiplication using index notation. = 32 52
    Note: (3 5)2 = 32 52.

    REMEMBER

    1. Index notation is a shorthand way of writing a repeated multiplication.


    2. The number being multiplied is the base of the expression; the number of times it has
    been written is the index (or power).
