| Topic | Indices and Surds |
| Type | Evaluate numerical powers |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward recall question testing basic index laws with no problem-solving required. Part (i) involves trivial rules (negative powers and zero power), while part (ii) requires applying fractional powers to a simple fraction—all standard textbook exercises requiring only mechanical application of rules. |
