The laws of indices make complex sums involving powers much easier to handle.
There are 6 laws we need to know and understand: how to multiply and divide with indices, raising a power to a power, what a power of 0 means, negative indices and fractional indices.
We will look at the first 4 laws in this video, and then will cover fractional and negative indices in a different video.
1) When we multiply indices, we add the powers together, provided they have the same base number.
2) When we divide indices, we subtract the powers. But again, the base number must be the same.
3) When a power is raised to a power, we multiply the powers.
4) Anything to the power of 0 is 1.
These are the first 4 laws of indices.

Algebraic fractions are simply fractions with algebraic expressions either on the top, bottom or both. We treat them in the same way as we would numerical fractions.
In this video we look at how to simplify algebraic fractions, and how to add and subtract them.

The word polygon comes from Greek. Poly means “many” and Gon means “angles”. Polygon = many angles. Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes, that are made of straight lines, with all the sides joined up.

In algebra we have lots of different names for different things: expressions, equations, formulae and identities are all slightly different versions of similar things. Then within these, we have variables, constants, coefficients and exponents to describe the different parts. We also need to know wh
