What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about indices, surds, and logarithms.
We will start by understanding the laws of indices, which help us simplify algebraic expressions involving powers.
Next, we will explore the laws of surds, which are square roots or other roots of numbers. These laws will help us simplify and manipulate surds in equations.
Lastly, we will study the laws of logarithms, which are the inverse operations of exponentiation.
Logarithms help us solve equations involving exponents.
Throughout the chapter, we will also learn how to apply these concepts to solve various problems and simplify expressions.
Topics in this chapter
1. Laws of Indices
What you will learn in this topic
- Simplify algebraic expressions involving indices using the laws of indices
- Solve problems involving indices
2. Laws of Surds
What you will learn in this topic
- Compare rational numbers and irrational numbers, and hence relate surds to irrational numbers
- Make and verify conjectures on (i) a^0.5 x b^0.5 (ii) a^0.5/b^0.5 and hence make generalisation
- Simplify expressions involving surds
- Simplify expressions involving surds by rationalising the denominators
- Solve problems involving surds
3. Laws of Logarithms
What you will learn in this topic
- Relate equations in the form of indices and logarithms, and hence determine the logarithm of a number
- Prove laws of logarithms
- Simplify algebraic expressions using the laws of logarithms
- Prove log_b a = log_c a / log_c b and use the relationship to determine the logarithm of a number
- Solve problems involving the laws of logarithms
4. Applications of Indices, Surds and Logarithms
What you will learn in this topic
