Question

solve the following by using laws of indices

​

Answer 1

These are the llaws of indices

• If a ≠ ±1 or 0, then x = y.
• If a = 1, then x, y may be any real number.
• If a = −1, then x, y may be both even or both odd.
• If a = 0, then x, y may be any non-zero real number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Six rules of the Law of Indices.

Rule 1: a 0 = 1. Any number, except 0, whose index is 0 is always equal to 1, regardless of the value of the base.

Rule 2: a -m = 1/a m.

Rule 3: a m x a n = a m+n. To multiply expressions with the same base, copy the base and add the indices.
