Study Notes
Index Laws
- Index laws can be extended and applied to variables using positive-integer indices and the zero index.
- The index laws for numerical bases with positive-integer indices can be used to develop the index laws in algebraic form.
Index Laws in Algebraic Form
- The index laws can be expressed in algebraic form using variables and positive-integer indices.
x^0 = 1
- x^0 = 1 can be established algebraically using the index laws.
- This is a fundamental property of indices and is used to simplify algebraic expressions.
Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
- Algebraic expressions that involve the zero index can be simplified using the index laws.
- Simplifying expressions involving the zero index is important in algebraic manipulations and equations.
