Exponents/Indices: Licensed To Karachi Grammar School

This document provides information about exponents and index notation. It defines exponential or index notation as anbase, where a is the base and n is the exponent or index. It gives the rules for multiplying and dividing terms with the same base, such as am × an = am+n and am ÷ an = am-n. It also lists several examples of simplifying terms using the laws of exponents.

Exponents/Indices A

4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 can be written as 45 in exponential/index notation.


Exponents are also called indices. Exponential/index notation is in the form: exponent or index
base an

an = a × a × a ×.... × a (n times) (where a ∈ ℝ, n ∈ ℕ)


a0 = 1 (a ≠ 0 because 00 is undefined)
a−n = 1 (a ≠ 0 because 1 is undefined)
