Indicies

1. Rule 1 - Multiplication:

   • When multiplying powers, add them
     • If there are numbers in front, multiply them normally
       • If a base doesn't appear to have a power, the power is disguised as 1

2. Rule 2 - Division:

   • When dividing powers, subtract them
     • If there are numbers in front, divide them normally

3. Rule 3 - Power of a Power

   • When you have a base and its power raised to another power, you multiply the powers toegether
   • If there is a number in front of the base, you must raise that number to its power

4. Rule 4 - The Zero Index

   • Anything to the power of zero is 1

5. Rule 5 - Negative Indices

   • a negative sign in front of a power is the same as writing 'one divided by the base and power'
     • Also called the Reciprocal
