You should already know the other 4 ‘Laws of Indices’. But if you have forgotten, have a look at them first. For negative indices, we drop whatever numbers and/or letters have the negative indice (also known as power or exponent) down to the denominator and make the indice (power or exponent) positive. E.g. x^(-2) is the same as 1/x^2 where it was negative on the numerator and becomes positive as a denominator. Fractional indices: an indice of a 1/2 is the same as square root. An indice of 1/3 is the same as cube root. An indice of 1/4 is the same as 4 root. But what if the numerator isn’t one? An indice of 3/2 means square root the number and then cube it. An indice of 2/3 means to cube root and then square it. So the denominator is still the root of the number, and the numerator then raises the root to the power. Fractional law of indices = power / root. Power makes things bigger so is on top, and root makes things smaller so is on the bottom. I always do the root first and then the power second to keep the numbers small, but you can actually do them in either order. Although I really recommend rooting first and doing the power second. Some examples: 25^3/2 means to square root 25 and then cube the answer. 25^3/2 = 5^3 = 125.

What does diabetes mean to you? Something to do with sugar right? Would you be shocked if I told you that every 6 seconds someone dies from diabetes? One in 11 adults worldwide has diabetes, with 1 in 2 not being diagnosed. So it is important that we all know what it is, how it can be detected and
An acid is a substance that will dissociate in water to give a proton (or H+ ion) and a conjugate base. An acid is considered to be strong if dissociation nears 100%, and weak if dissociation is usually less than 1%. In this lesson, we will learn about strong alkalis and weak alkalis. An alkali
In this video, we will focus on Urban ecology, which is the study of ecology where humans are abundant and have made significant changes to the local environment, such as cities. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/FuseSchool JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org These videos can
