Simplifying Expressions
- Simplifying the expression
a^2 + 2a - 3givesa^2 + 2a - 3 - Simplifying the expression
2a^2 + 3a - 1gives2a^2 + 3a - 1
Index Laws
- The first index law states that
a^m × a^n = a^(m+n) - The second index law states that
a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n) - The third index law states that
(a^m)^n = a^(m×n)
Expanding and Simplifying
- Expanding and simplifying the expression
(a + b)^2givesa^2 + 2ab + b^2 - Expanding and simplifying the expression
(a - b)^2givesa^2 - 2ab + b^2
Factorising
- Factorising the expression
a^2 + 2a - 3gives(a + 1)(a - 3) - Factorising the expression
2a^2 + 3a - 1gives(2a - 1)(a + 1)
Index Laws Applications
- Expressing the expression
5x^3y / 10x^5y^3with positive indices gives1/2x^2y^2 - Expressing the expression
6p^6(s^2)^0 / 2(p^4s^2)^2with positive indices gives3/p^2s^4
Scientific Notation
