Example
Alex has some sweets, we do not know
how many sweets Alex has….
so we can say ‘Alex has x sweets’
If Alex is given 5 more sweets, how many
sweets has he got?
x + 5

Example
Bob has some toys, we do not know how
many toys he has….
so we can say ‘Bob has m toys’
If Bob buys 6 more toys, how many toys
has he now got?
m + 6

(remember, a, a2 and a3 are completely different terms)
1) 4a – 5a2 + 2a + 3a2 = 6a – 2a2
2) 5h2 + 2h3 – 10h2 – 3h3 = -5h2 –h3
3) 3x2 – 4x – 5x2 + x = – 3x-2x2

Multiplying Terms Together
When two terms in algebra are being
multiplied together, they are simply
written next to each other.
e.g.
and
3a means 3 x a
efg means e x f x g

Powers
Aims:
To remember how to work out the HCF &
LCM from any given pair of numbers
To be able to understand how indices
(powers) work in algebra
To be able to manipulate the powers in an
expression in order to simplify it
Thursday, 07 April 2016
Page 24
Powers Rules
a x a = a2
a x a x a x a = a4
Rule 1:
When you multiply
powers of the same
letter or number you
add the indices…
But, what is a2 x a4?
It’s (a x a) x (a x a x a x a) = a6
What did you do with the powers?
You added them!

Indices Questions
a3 x a6 x a2 = a11

Q4. 3mnp3 x 4mn2p5 = 12m2n3p8
Thursday, 07 April 2016
Page 27
Powers
a x a x a x a x a = a5
a x a x a = a3
Rule 2:
When you divide
powers of the same
letter or number you
subtract the indices…
But, what is a5  a3?
It’s (a x a x a x a x a)  (a x a x a) = a2
What did you do with the powers?
You subtracted them!
Thursday, 07 April 2016

Indices Questions
a 6  a2
= a4

= c-2

Q2.

Thursday, 07 April 2016
Page 30
Powers
a x a x a = a3
Rule 3:
When you raise a
power by another
power (separated by
brackets) you multiply
the indices…
What do you think is…
(a3)2
= a 3 x a3 = a 6
what did you do
with the powers
here?
multiplied them!

Expanding the Brackets
Expand these expressions:
3(a + b) = 3a + 3b
4(y + 6) = 4y + 24
2(2a + 3b – 4c) = 4a + 6b – 8c
