Powers & Roots
- Powers (indices) show repeated multiplication: e.g., 6³ = 6 × 6 × 6.
- Any non-zero number to the power of 0 equals 1: e.g., 3⁰ = 1.
- Any number to the power of 1 equals itself: e.g., 3¹ = 3.
- Square roots are the reverse of squaring; every positive number has two square roots (positive and negative).
- The symbol √ denotes the positive square root only: e.g., √25 = 5.
- Cube roots are the reverse of cubing; each number has only one cube root: e.g., ³√125 = 5.
- For nth roots, if n is even there are two roots (positive and negative); if n is odd there is one.
- The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number; a number and its reciprocal multiply to 1.
Laws of Indices
- a¹ = a – anything to the power 1 is itself.
- a⁰ = 1 – anything (non-zero) to the power 0 is 1.
- aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ – to multiply indices with the same base, add the powers.
- aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ – to divide indices with the same base, subtract the powers.
- (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ – to raise a power to another power, multiply the powers.
- (ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ – to raise a product to a power, apply the power to each factor.
- (a/b)ⁿ = aⁿ / bⁿ – to raise a fraction to a power, apply the power to numerator and denominator.
- a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ – a negative power means the reciprocal of the positive power.
Converting to & from Standard Form
- Standard form is a × 10ⁿ where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer.
- For large numbers (≥10), n is positive: count how many places the decimal moves left.
- For small numbers (0 < number < 1), n is negative: count how many places the decimal moves right.
- Example: 32 400 = 3.24 × 10⁴ (decimal moves 4 places left).
- Example: 0.0000324 = 3.24 × 10⁻⁵ (decimal moves 5 places right).
- To convert from standard form to ordinary number, move the decimal point n places (right if n>0, left if n<0).

Operations with Standard Form
- Use your calculator for calculations with standard form (calculator paper only).
- Enter numbers using the ×10ˣ button and brackets: e.g., (3×10⁸)×(2×10⁻³).
- If the calculator output is not in standard form, rewrite it: e.g., 37 500 000 = 3.75×10⁷.
- Alternatively, rewrite a in standard form and apply index laws: e.g., 243×10²⁰ = (2.43×10²)×10²⁰ = 2.43×10²².
Worked Examples from Past Papers
- Write 0.0018 in standard form: 1.8 × 10⁻³.
- Write 6.09×10⁸ as an ordinary number: 609 000 000.
- Find 5⁰: 1; find 5⁻²: 1/25.
- Calculate (4.1×10⁻³)×(8.9×10⁷) = 3.649×10⁵ (using calculator).
- Solve 5ˣ × 5³ = 5¹² → x = 9 (since x+3=12).
- Solve 5ᵖ ÷ 5⁸ = 5¹³ → p = 21 (since p-8=13).
