An index (or power) tells you how many times a number is multiplied by
itself.



Examples:

2³ = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 The base is the number being
multiplied.
5² = 5 x 5 = 25
The index tells you how many

times.

, Index Law 1 - Multiplying Powers

Rule - When multiplying powers with the same base, add the indices.

am x an = am+n



Examples:

= 23+5

= 28

= 256
