30.1 Indices
30.2 Multiplication of numbers in index notation

Learning Objectives : Students will be taught to

1. Understand the concept of indices

2. Perform computations involving multiplication of numbers in index notation

Learning Outcomes :

1. Express repeated multiplication as an and vice versa

2. Find the value of an
3. Express numbers in index notation
Simplify multiplication of numbers and algebraic terms expressed in index
notation with the same and different base.

Activities :

1. When a number is multiplied by itself a certain numbers of times, it can be

expressed in index notation as an where
a  a  a  .......  a  a n
n factors
a is known as the base and n is the index

2. Conversely, any number expressed in index notation can be written as

repeated multiplication
*(-a)n = -an if n is odd number
(-a)n = an if n is even number

3. Certain numbers can be expressed in index notation by following the steps:

 Expressing the number as repeated multiplication of a number
 Converting the repeated multiplication to index notation

4. Multiplication of numbers of algebraic terms with the same base can be

simplified, that is
 a m  a n  a mn
5. When numbers of algebraic terms expressed in index notation with the
different bases are multiplied, we simplify it by following the steps:
 Grouping numbers or algebraic terms with the same base together
 Applying the law indices a m  a n  a m  n to each group of numbers or
algebraic terms with the same base
* Numbers in index notation with different bases are usually separated by
the multiplication sign , example 2 5  5 3
*Algebraic terms in index notation with different bases is not separated by
any multiplication sign , example 40 x 5 y 4
