Question 1
Evaluate
(i) $3^{-2}$
(ii) $(-4)^{-2}$
(iii)$(\frac {1}{2})^{-5}$ Answer
As we know that
$b^{-n}= \frac {1}{b^n}$
(i) $3^{-2}=\frac {1}{3^2} =\frac {1}{9}$
(ii) $(-4)^{-2}=\frac {1}{(-4)^2}= \frac {1}{16}$
(iii) $(\frac {1}{2})^{-5}=\frac {1}{2^{-5}}=2^5= 32$
Question 2
Simplify and express the result in power notation with positive exponent. Answer
(i)
= (-4)5 / (-4)8
= (-4)5-8
=1/ (-4)3
(ii)
=1/23x2
=1/26
(iv )
=(3-7/ 3-10) × 3-5
=3-7+10 × 3-5
=33 × 3-5
=3-2
=1/32
(v) 2 - 3 × ( - 7) - 3
= (2× -7)-3
= (-14)-3
=1/ (-14)3
