Laws of indices
Example: a)8=2*2*2=2^3 b)a*a*a*a*a*a=a^6 c)625=25*25=25^2
d)81=3*3*3*3=3^4 e)c*c*c=c^3.
Every unit highlighted in red above. Is said to be in its index form. A form where it possesses a base digit and a power digit.
These are instances of some units in their index form.
2^-3
3^a
a^c
d^0.5
We begin from the first to the last law of indices as written below:👇👇
1.
MULTIPLICATION LAW;
a^b *a^c= a^(b+c)
2^3*2^2=2^(3+2)=2^5=32
to confirm; 2^3*2^2=(2*2*2)*(2*2)=8*4=32
note carefully,
this can only be made possible if both bases are equal
a^b*d^c = (ad)^b+c
2.
DIVISION LAW;
a^b /a^c= a^(b-c)
2^3/2^2=2^(3-2)=2^1=2
provided there is an absence of an unequal base
3.
zero index LAW;
a^0= 1; provide a is not the same as zero(0)
2^0=1,f^0=1,(w^5)^0=1
4.
Negative index LAW;
a^-b=1/(a^b)
2^-3=1/(2^3)=1/8
(2/5)^-1=5/2
5.
Fractional index LAW;
a^b/c= c root[(a)^b] = [ c root (a) ]^b
6.
Power law;
(ab)^c=a^c.b^c
(2a)^2=2^2.a^2=(4)(a^2)=4a^2
