number and algebra TopIC 3 N LY Index laws 3.1 Overview N AL U AT IO Indices (the plural of index) are the lazy mathematician’s way of abbreviating operations such as multiplication and division. You do not have to use this technique if you have the time to do otherwise. For example, the lazy mathematician might write x 6, whereas you could write x × x × x × x × x × x . Why use indices at all? Because doing so will save you time and effort in more difficult calculations later. Will you use indices later in life? That depends on what work you decide to do. However, if you are contemplating any work associated with computers, cars, engines, science, design or apprenticeships, then the answer is almost certainly yes. O Why learn this? What do you know?

N O N LY • If a number or a variable is multiplied by itself several times, it can be written using short-cut notation referred to as index form. • When written in index form, the number or the variable that is being multiplied is written once only. To indicate how many times it is being multiplied by itself, a small number is written above and to the right of it. For example, if number 2 is multiplied by itself 4 times, it can be written as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 (factor form), or as 24 (index form). • When written in index form, the number or variable that is being multiplied is called the base, while the number showing how many times it is being multiplied is called the power, or index. For example, in the number 24, 2 is the base and 4 is the power or index. • When the base is multiplied by itself the number of times indicated by the power, the answer is called a basic numeral. For example, 24 =2×2×2×2= 16 Index form Factor form Basic numeral THInK WrITe 514 Write the number. 2 The base is the number below the power.

AT IO N O N LY 12 AL U 3.3 First Index Law (multiplying numbers in index form with the same base) SA M PL E EV • The numbers in index form with the same base can be multiplied together by being written in factor form first. For example, 53 × 52 = (5 × 5 × 5) × (5 × 5) = 55. • The simpler and faster way to multiply numbers or variables in index form with the same base is to use the First Index Law. The First Index Law states: am × an = am + n. This means that when numbers in index form with the same base are multiplied by each other, the powers (indices) are added together. For example, 53 × 52 = 53 + 2 = 55 (as above). • If the variables in index form that are being multiplied have coefficients, the coefficients are multiplied together and the variables in index form are multiplied, and simplified using the First Index Law. For example, 2a4 × 3a5 = (2 × 3) × (a4 × a5) = 6a9. ↑ Coefficients multiplied ↑ Variables multiplied, which means indices are added WorKed eXample 5 Simplify 23 × 26 after first writing in factor form, leaving the answer in index form.

O N LY 11 AT IO N 3.6 Fourth Index Law (raising a power to another power) E EV AL U • The Fourth Index Law states that when raising a power to another power, the indices are multiplied; that is, (am)n = am × n. For example, (53)2 = 53 × 2 = 56. • Every number and variable inside the brackets should have its index multiplied by the power outside the brackets. That is, (a × b) m = am × bm a m am = m b b (These are sometimes called the Fifth and Sixth Index Laws.) • Any number or variable that does not appear to have an index really has an index of one; that is, 2 = 21, a = a1. • Every number or variable inside the brackets must be raised to the power outside the brackets. For example, (3 × 2)4 = 34 × 24 and (2a4)3 = 23 × a4 × 3 = 8a12. M PL WorKed eXample 17 Simplify the following, leaving answers in index form.

Step 1: Place a decimal point so that the number appears to be between 1 and 10. 8.254 60 Step 2: Count how many decimal places the decimal point is from its old position. (For whole numbers, this is at the right-hand end of the number.) In this case, it is five places away. 8.254 60 Step 3: Multiply the number in step 1 by the power of 10 equal to the number of places in step 2. 8.254 60 × 105 EV Note: If your number was made smaller in step 1, multiply it by a positive power to increase it to its true value.

Topic 3 • Index laws 65 c03IndexLaws.indd 65 09/05/16 10:05 AM ICT activity N LY Task Watch the case study video that ACSEUP has provided for your class, and simultaneously track the growth of the killer balloons on a chart. Use the data that you have collected to create a graph showing the growth rate of the killer balloons. From these, create a mathematical equation that simulates the attack. When you have finished this research and understand the problem, you will answer some other questions that ACSEUP has asked about similar balloon scenarios. These will include how to go about defeating the killer balloons. Using your solutions to these questions, combined with your charts, graphs and equations, you will present a comprehensive report about the attack of the killer balloons to ACSEUP. SA M PL E EV AL U Ms Lovely is a Math teacher at Scholar High School and during last week she had her 30th birthday. Mr Handsome, her adoring husband, secretly placed a balloon and flowers in her classroom before the beginning of her first class. Unfortunately, he had unknowingly purchased a killer balloon from Mr Loon, of Angry Balloons! During Ms Lovely’s class, the balloon developed a strangelooking face and burst open. To everyone’s amazement, there were now five balloons, all with strange faces! During the following period when Ms Lovely was taking a new class, the five balloons also burst, and during the day they continued to multiply in this O Scenario N Searchlight ID: pro-0095 AT IO Attack of the killer balloons way. Eventually it became apparent that the balloons were hostile and were going to attack. Terrified, Ms Lovely and the threatened children escaped, but the killer balloons had taken control of her classroom and were threatening to spread. The students and staff were evacuated from the school, and the Australian Centre for the Study of Extraordinary and Unexplained Phenomena (ACSEUP) was called to investigate. ACSEUP re-created the events to produce a simulation video so they could study the balloons and work out how to defeat them. They realised that if they could work out the mathematical pattern of the increasing numbers of balloons perhaps they could find a plan for defeating them. However, after extensive analysis, they were stumped. The ACSEUP researchers had heard that your school had some clever maths students, and have asked your mathematics class to help Ms Lovely’s students solve the mystery of the killer balloons. 66 Maths Quest 8 c03IndexLaws.indd 66 09/05/16 2:23 PM • • Your ProjectsPLUS application is available in this topic’s Student Resources tab inside your eBookPLUS.
