    This document defines power indices and rules for operations involving powers. It defines powers of a variable x from x^0 to x^n, including negative powers. It provides rules for multiplying and distributing powers, such as x^n x^m = x^(n+m) and (xy)^n = x^n y^n. It also shows deductions that can be made from the rules, like (x^n)^m = (x^m)^n.
