Simplifying algebraic expressions using all the rules of working with indices

Reason For Learning

By now you have seen all the index laws in isolation. When simplifying algebraic expressions, multiple index laws are usually required. As such, it is necessary to correctly choose and apply the required index laws to simplify some algebraic expressions.

Learning Intention

By the end of the class you will be able to simplify algebraic expressions that require the use of more than one index law.
