Question 2:

Simplify and express the result in power notation with positive exponent.

(i) (ii)

(iii) (iv)

(v)

Answer:

(i) (−4)5 ÷ (−4)8 = (−4)5 − 8 (am ÷ an = amn)

= (− 4)−3

(ii)

(iii)

(iv) (3− 7 ÷ 3−10) × 3−5 = (3−7 − (−10)) × 3−5 (am ÷ an = am n)

= 33 × 3−5

= 33 + (− 5) (am × an = am + n)

= 3−2

(v) 2−3 × (−7)−3 =

Question 3:

Find the value of.

(i) (30 + 4−1) × 22 (ii) (2−1 × 4−1) ÷2−2

(iii) (iv) (3−1 + 4−1 + 5−1)0

(v)

Answer:

(i)

(ii) (2−1 × 4−1) ÷ 2− 2 = [2−1 × {(2)2}− 1] ÷ 2− 2

= (2− 1 × 2− 2) ÷ 2− 2

= 2−1+ (−2) ÷ 2−2 (am × an = am + n)

= 2−3 ÷ 2−2

= 2−3− (−2) (am ÷ an = amn)

= 2−3 + 2 = 2 −1

(iii)

(iv) (3−1 + 4−1 + 5−1)0

= 1 (a0 = 1)

(v)

Question 5:

Find the value of m for which 5m ÷5−3 = 55.

Answer:

5m ÷ 5−3 = 55

5m− (− 3) = 55 (am ÷ an = amn)

5m + 3 = 55

Since the powers have same bases on both sides, their respective exponents must be equal.

m + 3 = 5

m = 5 − 3

m = 2

Question 3:

Express the number appearing in the following statements in standard form.

(i) 1 micron is equal to m.

(ii) Charge of an electron is 0.000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 16 coulomb.

Question 4:

In a stack there are 5 books each of thickness 20 mm and 5 paper sheets each of thickness 0.016 mm. What is the total thickness of the stack?

Answer:

Thickness of each book = 20 mm

Hence, thickness of 5 books = (5 × 20) mm = 100 mm

Thickness of each paper sheet = 0.016 mm

Hence, thickness of 5 paper sheets = (5 × 0.016) mm = 0.080 mm

Total thickness of the stack = Thickness of 5 books + Thickness of 5 paper sheets

= (100 + 0.080) mm

= 100.08 mm

= 1.0008 × 102 mm
