TopicIndices and Surds
TypeSimplify algebraic expressions with indices
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a straightforward recall question requiring only the basic index law a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n) and recognizing √a = a^(1/2). It's a single-step calculation (2 - 1/2 = 3/2) with multiple choice format, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions.
