MA5.1-5NA

Operates with algebraic expressions involving positive-integer and zero indices, and establishes the meaning of negative indices for numerical bases

Outcomes

Extend and apply the index laws to variables, using positive-integer indices and the zero index (ACMNA212)
- Use the index laws previously established for numerical bases with positive-integer indices to develop the index laws in algebraic form
