Index Laws

Index laws only apply when the

Base (big number) is the same

• True

• False

One of the Laws tells us when two of the same Base are being Multiplied, you must ______ the Powers

• Multiply

• Add

• Subtract

• Divide

One of the Laws tells us when two of the same Base are being Divided, you must ______ the Powers

• Multiply

• Add

• Subtract

• Divide

One of the Laws tells us any

BASE to the Power of Zero,

always gives the answer....

• 1

• 0

• Can't be done

• None of the other answers
