    Recap Index

    This document discusses the rules and laws of indices (also called exponents). It explains that an index number represents the number of times a base number is used as a factor. It then outlines several key rules: 1) A term with a zero index equals 1, 2) A term with a negative index is equal to the reciprocal of the term with a positive index, and 3) A term with a fractional index can be expressed as a root of the term with the denominator as its index. Finally, it introduces the law of indices which describes how to simplify terms with the same base but different indices.
