    4 Indices

    OPERATING WITH INDICES SOLUTIONS

    TASK 1 Explore indices using a calculator


    1 a 42 + 43 = 80 b 36 – 34 = 648 c 85 + 82 = 32 832
    45 = 1024 32 = 9 167 = 268 435 456
    2 3 5
    NO, 4 + 4 and 4 are not NO, 3 – 3 and 3 are not
    6 4 2
    NO, 85 + 82 and 167are not
    equal. equal. equal.
    Note: Note:
    42 + 43 = 4 × 4 + 4 × 4 × 4 36 – 34
    and = 3×3×3×3×3 – 3×3×3×3

    45 = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 which is not the same as 32.

    d 73 × 72 = 75 e 106 ÷ 102 = 104 f 45 × 46 = 4 194 304


    76 496 495 14 103 13 411 = 4 194 304
    YES, 45 × 46 and 411 are
    Note: Dividing by 102 is the same
    equal.
    as dividing by 10 then by
    73 × 72 = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7
    10 again.
    = 75
    Each division cancels one
    multiplication.

    g 32 × 53 = 1125 h 22 × 23 × 25 = 1024 i 59 ÷ 53 ÷ 52 = 625


    155 = 759 375 210 = 1024 54 = 625
    NO, 32 × 53 and 155 are not YES, 22 × 23 × 25 and 210 YES, 59 ÷ 53 ÷ 52 and 54 are
    equal. are equal. equal.

    2 a When adding or subtracting numbers with the same base, you can/cannot add or subtract
    their powers.

    b When multiplying numbers with the same base, you can/cannot add their powers.

    c When multiplying numbers with different bases, you can/cannot add their powers.

    d When dividing numbers with the same base, you can/cannot subtract their powers.

    e When dividing numbers with different bases, you can/cannot add their powers.

    f When multiplying or dividing numbers with the same base, the base stays the same/changes
    in the answer.

    1.4 Indices

    TASK 2 Reducing multiplication and division

    85  8 2  8
    7
    128  12
    6
    69  610  6  1214
    19
    1 2 3
    (Add the indices and leave
    the base the same.)

    10
    34  3  3
    5
    2 4  23  2 6  2
    13
    4 74  76  7 5 6
    (3 is the same as 31.)
    (The base stays the same.)

    411  45  4
    6
    28  24  2
    4
    1510 15  153
    7
    7 8 9
    (Subtract the indices and
    leave the base the same.)

    4
    815  85  83  8 379  37  37
    7 8
    10 276  27 2  27 11 12
    (37 is the same as 371.)

    TASK 3 The power of zero

    1 In both tables, the number to the power of zero is equal to 1.

    2 80 = 1

    3 A number raised to the power of zero equals 1.

    4 You will get an error message because 00 is undefined (has no specific meaning). Zero to any
    power is zero because you are multiplying zero by itself. But for 00 you are not really multiplying
    zero by anything. In some mathematical arguments 00 is taken as 1, in others it is taken as 0 while
    in others it is classified as unknown or impossible to find.
