Laws of Indices

Simplifying calculations by involving indices.

Multiplying two or numbers with the same base

x y x z = x y+z (1)

Dividing numbers with the same base

x y / x z = x y-z (2)

Raising power

(x y ) z = x y z (3)

Number with index 0

x 0 = 1                        (4)

Number raised with negative number

x -y = 1 / x y (5)

1 / x -y = x y (5b)

Number raised with a fractional number

x y/z = (x y ) 1/z (6)

Examples

3234 = 36

(32)4 = 3 2  4 = 3 8
