 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
