Reciprocals

It is what you need to multiply a number by


A reciprocal is an inverse of a number. to achieve an answer of 1.

What is the is reciprocal of ?


5 x5=1

What is the is reciprocal of ?


x =1

What is the is reciprocal of ?


x7=1

What is the is reciprocal of ?


x =1
Indices – Multiplying
Write as a single power?

5 x 5 x 5 = 53 5 is the base value and 3 is the index value

When multiplying common base values


× you need to add the indices.

× 6+2=4

× 4 = so 5 + 1 = 6

× 6+2+1=5

Power to a power =
7 2
(5 ) = Short cut is to multiply the powers 7 x 2 = 14
Indices – Dividing
Write as a single power?
and multiplying by 1 has not effect on the final
= answer (so we can ignore)

When dividing common base values


= you need to subtract the indices.

= –7 – 2 = –9

5 – –2 = 5 + 2 = 7

3 + –5 = –2
–2 – –7 = –2 + 7 = 5
Indices – Negative
Negative indices means you take the Reciprocal of 3 is
reciprocal of the base value. because 3 x = 1

= = Ignore the negative (2)2 to get 4


then take the reciprocal of 4 to get

= = Ignore the negative ()2 to get


then take the reciprocal of to get
Indices – Fractional
Denominator is the root and
the numerator is the power.

== 4

== 4

= =
then 23 = 8
= = then 33 = 27
Indices – Fractional and Negative
Denominator is the root
and the numerator is the power.
Negative means take the reciprocal.

Take the reciprocal of the first to get


= = = then square root the 9 and the 4

Take the reciprocal of the first to get


= = = then square root the 9 and the 4
Final cube each answer.

Think about 9 as
== = then take the reciprocal to get
Standard Form - Writing
Standard form is a method for writing very
big number and very small numbers.

5 × 1010 = 50 000 000 000 5 x 10 000 000 000

4.28 × 105 = 428 000 4. 28 x 100 000

5 × 10-6 = 0.000005 5 ÷ 1 000 000

7.1 × 10-4 = 0.00071 7.1 ÷ 10 000


Standard Form – Rewriting in correct form
Standard form is a method for writing very
big number and very small numbers.

0.3 x 10 = 3 so now need to reduce the


changes to powers of 10 by 1

300 ÷ 100 = 3 so now need to increase the


change to power of 10 by 1

changes to 0.3 x 10 = 3 so now need to reduce the


powers of 10 by 1

50 ÷ 10 = 5 so now need to increase the


changes to powers by 10 by 1
Standard Form – Calculations Multiplying
2x3=6
(2 x ) x (3 x ) = 6 x x (add the powers)

2x3=6
(2 x ) x (3 x ) = 6 x x (add the powers)

(7 x ) x (3 x ) 7 x 3 = 21
x (add the powers)
= 21 x
21 ÷ 10 = 2.1 so now need to increase the powers
= 2.1 x by 10 by 1
Standard Form – Calculations Dividing
6÷3=2
(6 x ) ÷ (3 x ) = 2 x x (subtract the powers)

6÷3=2
(6 x ) ÷ (3 x ) = 2 x x (4 – –7 = 4 + 7 = 11)

(4 x ) ÷ (8 x ) 4 ÷ 8 = 0.5
x (–5 – 6 = –11)
= 0.5 x
0.5 x 10 = 5 so now need to reduce the powers by
=5x 10 by 1
Surds – Simplifying
A surd is a square root that cannot be surd
turned into a whole number. not a surd as = 3

Both numbers must a surd


Multiplying Surds
x 2 = is incorrect

When splitting then up try to get one


Simplify = = 6 number to be a squared number.

Evaluate 10 Evaluate means to find the value of

Evaluate 4 4 x 3 = 12
Surds – More Simplifying
Both numbers must a surd
Dividing surds ÷ 2 = is incorrect

Evaluate =
The surds must be the same
Simplify + 3 = 8 5+3=8

Simplify 3= 2 5–3=2

Simplify = 10 1 + 3 + 6 = 10
