Given an expression (either a^-k or 1/a^-k) with a negative index, rewrite it with a positive index.

The variable a and the index k are randomised.

Simplify n1.v^k1.(n2.v^k2), where n1, n2 are positive integers, v is a random letter variable, and k1 and k2 are nonzero integers.

The answer should be expressed as n.v^k

Use the index laws to simplify 3 simple expressions;

n^a*n^b, n^a/n^b, (n^a)^b, where n is a randomised variable or number, and a and b are randomised nonzero integers.

Expand (x+a)(x+b)(x+c), where x is a randomised variable, and a,b,c are randomised integers.

Note that the pattern restriction in the marking checks that there are no brackets and that the expression is simplified to at most a single x^3, x^2, x and constant term; but it will let you get away with an additional -x^2 and/or -x term. (e.g., you could write 3x as 4x -x and the marking would accept this. This was to stop the pattern matching getting too complicated.
