Objectives

On completion of this period, you would be able

to know
 Explain the laws of indices

CCP-403.58 2
Recap
In the previous period, we have discussed about
 The law 5 and law 6 of indices

(ab)  a  b
m m m ( a / b) m  a m / b m

CCP-403.58 3
Law 7 of indices

 Meaning of (a1/n)n :

(a1/n)n = a1/n x n
= an/n
= a1
= a

CCP-403.58 4
Law 7 of indices

Example:
1
(a )  a
4 4

1
(a )  a
n n

CCP-403.58 5
Law 8 of indices
 Meaning of (am/n)n:

(am/n)n = am/n x n
= a(m x n) / n
= am

CCP-403.58 6
Law 8 of indices

 Example:
