Answer» (i) Given (25)3 ÷ 53 = (52)3 ÷ 53[According to the law of exponents we have (am)n = amn] = 56 ÷ 53 [According to the law of exponents we have am ÷ an = am-n] = 56 – 3 = 53 (ii) Given (81)5 ÷ (32)5[According to the law of exponents we have (am)n = amn] = (81)5 ÷ 310[81 = 34] = (34)5 ÷ 310 [According to the law of exponents we have (am)n = amn] = 320 ÷ 310 = 320-10 [According to the law of exponents we have am ÷ an = am-n] = 310 (iii) Given 98 × (x2)5/ (27)4 × (x3)2 = (32)8 × (x2)5/ (33)4× (x3)2[According to the law of exponents we have (am)n = amn] = 316 × x10/312 × x6 = 316-12 × x10-6[According to the law of exponents we have am ÷ an = am-n] = 34 × x4 = (3x)4 (iv) Given (32 × 78 × 136)/ (212 × 913) = (32 × 7278 × 136)/(212× 133 × 73)[According to the law of exponents we have (am)n = amn] = (212 × 72 × 136)/(212× 133 × 73) = (76 × 136)/(133 × 73) = 916/913[According to the law of exponents we have am ÷ an = am-n] = 916-3 = 913 |
