Show transcript
The index tells you how many identical terms you must multiply together.
By studying the structure of multiplication, you can see how the index will change.
When multiplying powers with the same bases, the indices can be summed.
This process can be made quicker as repeated addition can be more efficiently calculated through multiplication.
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
