Simplifying indices
A² means axa. A has been multiplied by itself twice. The index, or power, here is 2.
A³ means axaxa. A has been multiplied by itself three times.
A^4 means axaxaxa. A has been multiplied by itself four times
What are the laws of indices?
The rules for simplifying calculations or expressions involving powers of the same base. This means that the larger number or letter must be the same across indices to simplify them.
Multiplying indices
A^m+A^n=A^m+n
Dividing indices
A^m-A^n=A^m-n
Simplify 3^5-3³
3²
Indices with brackets
(A^m)^n=A^mxn
Simplify (7^4)²
7^8
Power of 0
Any number to the power of 0 equals 1
Negative indices
A^-m=1/A^m
Simplify 3^-3
