. Hope you like them and do not forget to like , social share
and comment at the end of the page.
Question 1
Evaluate
- 2-2
- (-2)-2
- (3/2)-5
Solution
As we know that
b-n= 1/bn
(i) 2-2 = 1/ 22 =1/4
(ii) (-2)-2 = 1/(-2)2= 1/4
(iii) (3/2)-5 =3-5/ 2-5
=25/35 = 32/243
Question 2
Simplify and express the result in power notation with positive exponent.
(i) (-2)
5 ÷ (-2)
4
(ii) (1/2)
2 × (2/5)
2
(iii) (-5)
2 × (3/5)
Solution
(i) (-2)5 ÷ (-2)4
= (-2)5 / (-2)4
= (-2)5-4
=-2
(ii) (1/2)2 × (2/5)2
= (1/4) X (4/25)
= 1/25
(iii) (-5)2 × (3/5)
=25 × (3/5)
=15
Question 3
Find the value of.
(i)(4
0 + 4
-1) × 2
2
(ii)(3
-1 × 9
-1) ÷ 3
-2
(iii)(11
-1 + 12
-1 + 13
-1)
0
Solution
(i)(40 + 4-1) × 22
= (1+1/4) × 4
= 4+1=5
(ii)(3-1 × 9-1) ÷ 3-2
= [(1/3) × (1/9)] ÷ (1/9)
=1/3
(iii)(11-1 + 12-1 + 13-1)0
=1 as a0=1
Question 4
Find the value of x here
$( \frac {11}{9})^3 \times (\frac {9}{11})^6 = (\frac {11}{9})^{2x-1}$
Solution
$( \frac {11}{9})^3 \times (\frac {9}{11})^6 = (\frac {11}{9})^{2x-1}$
$(\frac {11}{9})^{3-6} = (\frac {11}{9})^{2x-1}$
-3=2x-1
Or
x=-1
Question 5
Find the value of m for which 2
m ÷ 2
-4 = 4
5
Solution
2m ÷ 2-4 = 45
2m × (1/2-4) = 210
2m+4 =210
So m+4=10
m=6
Question 6
Express the following numbers in standard form.
(i) 0.0000000015
(ii) 0.00000001425
(iii) 102000000000000000
Solution
(i)0.0000000015
=1.5 ×10-9
(ii)0.00000001425
=1.425×10-8
(iii)102000000000000000
=1.02×1017
Question 7
Express the following numbers in usual form.
(i) 34.02 x 10
-5
(ii) 9.5 x 10
5
(iii) 9 x 10
-4
(iv) 2.0001 x 10
8
Solution
(i)34.02 x 10-5
= .0003402
(ii)9.5 x 105
=950000
(iii) 9 x 10-4
=.0009
(iv)2.0001 x 108
=200010000
Question 8
Solve for the variables
(i) $\frac {1}{y^{-5}} = 32$
(ii) $ (\frac {1}{7})^3 \div (\frac {1}{7})^8 = 7^n$
(iii) $ \frac {3^x .3}{3^{2x+1}} = 27$
Solution
(i) $\frac {1}{y^{-5}} = 32$
$y^5 = 32$
$y^5 = 2^5$
Therefore y=2
(ii) $ (\frac {1}{7})^3 \div (\frac {1}{7})^8 = 7^n$
$(\frac {1}{7})^3 \times 7^8 = 7^n$
$7^5 = 7^n$
Hence n=5
(iii) $ \frac {3^x .3}{3^{2x+1}} = 27$
$\frac {3^{x+1}}{3^{2x+1}} = 27$
$3^{x + 1 - 2x -1} =27$
$3^{-x}= 27$
$3^{-x}=3^3$
Hence x =-3
Question 9
Find the Multiplicative inverse of
(i) $3^{25}$
(ii) $4^{-3}$
(iii) $(\frac {2}{3})^{-2}$
Solution
(i) $3^{-25}$
(ii) $4^{3}$
(iii) $(\frac {2}{3})^{2}$
Question 10
Simplify the following
(i) $1 + \left [ \left ( \frac{1}{3} \right )^{-3} - \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{-3} \right ] \div 38$
(ii) $\frac {1}{1 + p^{a-b}} + \frac {1}{1 + p^{b-a}}$
Solution
(i) $1 + \left [ \left ( \frac{1}{3} \right )^{-3} - \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{-3} \right ] \div 38$
=$1 + (3^3 - 2^3) \div 38$
=$1 + 19 \div 38$
=$\frac {3}{2}$
(ii) $\frac {1}{1 + p^{a-b}} + \frac {1}{1 + p^{b-a}}$
=$\frac {p^b}{p^b + p^a} + \frac {p^a}{p^a + p^b}$
=$\frac {p^b + p^a}{p^b + p^a}$
