Simplify and write each of the following in exponential form:(i) (25)3 ÷ 53(ii) (81)5 ÷ (32)5(iii) 98 × (x2)5/ (27)4 × (x3)2(iv) 32 × 78 × 136/ 212 × 913

Answer»

(i) Given (25)3 ÷ 53

= (52)3 ÷ 53[According to the law of exponents we have (am)n = amn]

= 5÷ 53 [According to the law of exponents we have a÷ a= 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 a÷ a= 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 a÷ a= am-n]         

= 34 × x4

= (3x)4

(iv) Given (32 × 78 × 136)/ (212 × 913)

= (32 × 727× 136)/(212× 13× 73)[According to the law of exponents we have (am)n = amn]

= (212 × 72 × 136)/(212× 13× 73)

= (7× 136)/(13× 73)

= 916/913[According to the law of exponents we have a÷ a= am-n

= 916-3

= 913
