Comprehend and apply indices, including positive, zero, negative, and fractional values. For example, solve equations like x • 32 = 2 x + 1 and x • 5 = 25. Additionally, grasp and utilize the rules governing indices, such as simplifying expressions like 2^3 - 4^1 • x or x^2 • x^3 • x^2 • x^(-2) • x^5. Note that knowledge of logarithms is not necessary.
