What are Negative Indices
Once you understand the three laws of indices and know what is meant with the zero index, you can move on and learn how we treat negative indices. What is the value of 4 to the power negative two? Please bear in mind that we are talking about negative indices and not a negative base. If you study the first maths video in which I explain negative indices, you will understand that negative indices are closely related to the second law of indices. Past papers often involve questions with negative indices and also on future GCSE IGCSE maths exams you will most likely have to answer questions with negative indices. Therefore make sure to understand this maths topic and let me know if you need more help with your maths. Good luck!
