GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Algebra: Indices and Surds - Explained

The video tutorial covers indices and surds, explaining the difficulty levels of questions. It begins with understanding negative indices, using 2 to the power of -3 as an example. The tutorial then moves on to combining indices and surds, specifically rewriting 5 root 5 in index form. The final section involves expanding brackets with surds, demonstrating how to simplify expressions like root 12 minus root 3 squared. Key points and methods for solving surd problems are summarized at the end.
