• What is the rule for multiplying indices?

  a^m x aⁿ = a^m+n
• How do you simplify a fraction with indices?

  a^m/aⁿ = a^m-n
• If you have $2^3 x 5^3$, what is the simplified form?


  10³
• What happens to the base when you divide indices?

  The base remains the same; the exponents subtract
• What are the two main rules of indices?

  1. a^m x aⁿ = a^m+n
  2. a^m/aⁿ = a^m-n
• What is the first rule of indices?

  Add the indices when multiplying
• How do you apply the first rule of indices?

  By adding the indices with the same base
• What is the result of $x^3 \cdot x^4$ using the first rule of indices?


  $x^7$
• What does the first rule of indices state?

  • When multiplying indices with the same base:
  • Add the indices together.
