T - Worksheet-1 - Rules of Indices (Week 13)

The document discusses rules of indices and exponentiation. It contains examples of simplifying expressions using rules like the multiplication rule, division rule, power rule, and negative index rule. Some key points covered are: 1) Writing expressions with multiple factors as a single exponent using rules like am × an = am+n. 2) Converting fractions to index form using rules like 1/n = a-n. 3) Simplifying fractional and negative exponents. 4) Applying rules of exponents to simplify complex expressions into single exponents.

Rules of Indices

General Rules:

Multiplication Rule 𝒂𝒎 × 𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝒎+𝒏


Division Rule 𝒂𝒎 ÷ 𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝒎−𝒏

Power Rule (𝒂𝒎 )𝒏 = 𝒂𝒎×𝒏


Negative Index Rule 𝟏
𝒂−𝒏 =
𝒂𝒏

Unit Fraction Rule 𝟏


𝒏
𝒂𝒏 = √𝒂
𝒎 𝒎
General Fraction Rule 𝒏
𝒂 𝒏 = ( √𝒂)

Zero Power Rule 𝒂𝟎 = 𝟏
