Question 1:
[(- 3)²]³ is equal to
(a) (-3)⁸ (b) (- 3)⁶
(c) (-3)⁵ (d) (-3)²³
Solution:
(b) We know that, if ‘a’ is a rational number, m and n are natural numbers, then (a^m)ⁿ = a^{m x n}
So, [(- 3)² ]³ = (- 3)^{2 x 3} = (- 3)⁶

Question 2:
For a non-zero rational number x, x⁸ ÷ x² is equal to
(a) x⁴ (b) x⁶ (c) x¹⁰ (d) x¹⁶
Solution:
(b) We know that, if ‘a’ is a rational number, m and n are natural numbers such that m> n, then
a^m ÷ aⁿ = a^m-n
So, x⁸ ÷ x² = x⁸/x² = x^8-2 = x⁶

Question 3:

Solution:
False
4²=4 x 4 = 16 [∴ a^m = a x a x a x… x a (m times)]
and 2⁴ =2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
So, 4² = 2⁴

Question 51:

Here,5° x 25° x 125°=5° x(5 x 5)° x (5 x 5 x 5)° [∴ 25 = 5 x 5 and 125 = 5 x 5 x 5]
= 5° x 5° x 5° x 5° x 5° x 5° [∴ a^m x b^m = a^mb^m]
= (5° )⁶
Hence, 5° x 25° x 125° =(5⁰)⁶

Question 61:
876543 = 8 x 10⁵ + 7 x 10⁴ + 6 x 10³ +5 x 10² + 4 x 10¹ + 3 x 10°
Solution:
True
Take RHS = 8 x 10⁵ + 7 x 10⁴ + 6 x 10³ +5 x 10² + 4 x 10¹ + 3 x 10°
= 8 x 100000 + 7 x 10000 + 6 x 1000 + 5 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 3 x 1 [∴ a° = 1]
= 800000 + 70000 + 6000 + 500+ 40+3 = 876543 = LHS
Hence, RHS = LHS

Question 62:
600060 = 6 x 10⁵ + 6 x 10²

False
Take RHS =6 x 10⁵ + 6 x 10² = 6 x 100000 + 6 x 100= 600000 + 600 = 600600 ≠ LHS
Hence, RHS ≠ LHS

Question 63:
4 x 10⁵+ 3 x 10⁴ + 2 x 10³ + 1 x 10° = 432010
Solution:
False
Take LHS
= 4 x 10⁵+ 3 x 10⁴ + 2 x 10³ + 1 x 10°
= 4 x 100000+ 3 x 10000 + 2 x 1000+ 1 x 1 [∴ a° = 1]
= 400000 + 30000 + 2000 + 1 = 432001 ≠ RHS
Hence, LHS ≠ RHS

Question 64:
8 x 10⁶ + 2 x 10⁴ + 5 x 10² + 9 x 10° = 8020509
Solution:
True
Take LHS
= 8 x 10⁶ + 2 x 10⁴ + 5 x 10² + 9 x 10°
= 8 x 1000000 + 2 x 10000 + 5 x 100 + 9 x 1 [∴ a° = 1]
= 8000000 + 2000 + 500+9 = 8020509 = RHS
Hence, LHS = RHS

Question 65:
4° +5° +6° = (4 + 5 + 6)°
Solution:
False
Here, 4° + 5° + 6° = 1 + 1 + 1= 3 [∴ a°=1]
and (4+ 5+ 6)° =(15)° =1
Hence, 4° + 5° + 6° ≠ (4 + 5 + 6)°

Question 66:
Arrange in ascending order.
2⁵, 3³, 2³ x 2, (3³)², 3⁵, 4°, 2³ x 3¹
Solution:
In ascending order, the numbers are arranged from smallest to largest.
We have, 2⁵=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32.
3³ =3 x 3 x 3=27.
2³ x 2=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.
(3³)² = 3^{3 x 2} [∴ (a^m)ⁿ = a^mn]
3⁶ = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729.
3⁵ = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243.
4° = 1 [∴ a⁰ = 1]
and 2³ x 3¹=2 x 2 x 2 x 3=24 Thus, the required ascending order will be
4° < 2³ x 2 < 23 x 31 < 33 < 25 < 35 < (33)2.




Question 67:
Arrange the following exponents in descending order. 2²⁺³ , (2²)³ , (2 x 2²) , 3⁵/3² , (3² x 3⁰ ) , (2² x 5²) .
Solution:
In descending order, the numbers are arranged from largest to smallest. We have, 22 + 3 = 25=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32.
(2²)³ => 2⁶= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2=64.
2 x 2² = 2¹⁺² => 2³ = 8.
3⁵/3² = 3^5-2 => 3³ = 27.
3² x 3⁰ = 3²⁺⁰ => 3² = 9.
2³ x 5² =2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 => 8 x 25 = 200.
Thus, the required descending order will be
(2² x 5²) > (2²)³ > 2²⁺³ > 3⁵/3² > (3² x 3⁰ ) > (2 x 2²).

Question 68:
By what number should (-4)⁵ be divided so that the quotient may be equal to (- 4)³ ?

(a) 2⁶ or 6² (b) 2⁹ or 9² (c) 7.9 x 10⁴ or 5.28 x 10⁵
Solution:
(a) We have, 2⁶=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2=64 and 6² = 6 x 6 = 36 So, 2⁶ > 6²
(b) We have, 2⁹ = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 512 and 9² = 9 x 9 = 81
So, 2⁹ > 9²
(c) We have, 7.9 x 10⁴ = 7.9 x 10000 = 79000 and 5.28 x 10⁵ = 5.28 x 100000 = 528000 So, 5.28 x 10⁵ > 7.9 x 10⁴

(a) 76,47,000 (b) 8,19,00,000
(c) 5,83,00,00,00,000 (d) 24 billion
Solution:
(a) We have, 76,47,000 = 7647000,00
A number in standard form is written as a x 10^k, where a is the terminating decimal such that 1 < a < 10 and k is any integer.
So,7647000 = 7647 x 10³
= 7.647 x 10³ x 10³ = 7.647 x 10⁶
Similarly,
(b) 8,19,00,000 = 81900000.00= 819 x 10 s = 8.19 x 10² x 10⁵ = 8.19 x 10⁷
(c) 5,83,00,00,00,000 = 583000000000.00= 583 x 10⁹ = 5.83 x 10² x 10⁹ = 5.83 x 10¹¹
(d) 24 billion = 24,00,00,00,000 = 24 x 10⁹ = 2.4 x 10¹ x 10⁹ = 2.4 x 10¹⁰

Question 83:
The speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 10⁸ m/s. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth. Express distance of Sun from Earth in standard form.
Solution:
It is given that,
Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Time taken by light to reach the Earth = 8 min= 8 x 60 s= 480 s [∴ 1 min = 60s]
We know that,
Distance = Speed x Time=3 x 10⁸ x 480 = 1440 x 10⁸ = 1.440 x 10³ x 10⁸
= 1.44 x 10¹¹ [∴ 10³ x 10⁸ = 10¹¹]
Hence, the distance of Sun from the Earth is 1.44 x 10¹¹ m.

Solution:
1. Area of Kalahari, South Africa = 932,400 = 932400.00 [∴ standard form a x 10^k]
= 9324 x 10² = 9.324 x 10³ x 10² = 9.324 x 10⁶
2. Area of Thar, India = 199,430 = 199430.00 = 19943 x 10¹ = 1.9943 x 10⁴ x 10¹ = 1.9943 x 10⁵
3. Area of Gibson, Australia = 155,400= 155400.00= 1554 x 10² = 1.554 x 10³ x 10² = 1.554 x 10⁵
4. Area of Great Victoria, Australia = 647,500= 647500.00
= 6475 x 10² = 6.475 x 10³ x 10⁵ = 6475 x 10⁵
5. Area of Sahara, North-Africa = 8,598,800= 8598800.00
= 85988 x 10² = 8.5988 x 10⁴ x 10² = 85988 x 10⁶
Two numbers written in scientific notation can be compared. The number with the larger power of 10 is greater than the number with the smaller power of 10. If the powers of ten are the same, then the number with larger factor is the larger number.
Hence, required ascending order of the size will be
Gibson, Australia < Thar, India < Great Victoria, Australia < Kalahari, South-Africa < Sahara, North-Africa.

3. 1 day = 86,400 s = 8.64 x 10² s = 8.64 x 10² x 10² s = 8.64 x 10⁴ s = 8.6 x 10⁴ s
4. 1 month = 2,600,000 s=26 x 10⁵ s =2.6 x 10 x 10⁵ s = 2.6 x 10⁶ s
5. 1 yr = 32,000,000 s = 32 x 10⁶ s = 32 x 10⁶ s = 3.2 x 10 x 10⁶ s = 32 x 10⁷ s
6. 10 yr = 320,000,000 s = 32 x 10⁷ S = 32 x 10 x 10⁷ s = 3.2 x 10⁸ s

Question 89:
In our own planet Earth, 361,419,000 square kilometre of area is covered with water and 148,647,000 square kilometre of area is covered by land. Find the approximate ratio of area covered with water to area covered by land converting these numbers into scientific notation.
Solution:

Question 90:
If 2ⁿ⁺² +2ⁿ⁺¹ + 2n = c x 2ⁿ, then find c.
Solution:
We have, 2ⁿ⁺² +2ⁿ⁺¹ + 2n = c x 2ⁿ
=> 2ⁿ 2² +2ⁿ 2¹ + 2ⁿ = c x 2ⁿ [∴ a^m+n = a^m x aⁿ]
=> 2ⁿ [2² – 2¹ + 1] = c x 2ⁿ [taking common 2ⁿ in LHS]
=> 2ⁿ[4-2 + 1]=c x 2ⁿ
=> 3 x 2ⁿ = c x 2ⁿ
3 x 2ⁿ x 2^-n =c x 3ⁿ x c^-n [multiplying both sides by 2^-n]
=> 3 x 2^n-1 = c x 2^n-n [∴ a^m+n = a^m x aⁿ]
=> 3 x 2° =c x 2°
=> 3x 1 =c x 1 [∴ a°=1]
∴ 3 = c

Question 91:
A light year is the distance that light can travel in one year.
1 light year = 9,460,000,000,000 km.
(a) Express one light year in scientific notation.
(b) The average distance between Earth and Sun is 1.496 x 10⁸ km. Is the distance between Earth and the Sun greater than, less than or equal to one light year?

Question 92:
Geometry Application
The number of diagonals of an n-sided figure is ½(n² – 3n). Use the formula to find the number of diagonals for a 6-sided figure (hexagon).

Solution:

Question 93:
Life Science
Bacteria can divide in every 20 minutes. So, 1 bacterium can multiply to 2 in 20 minutes, 4 in 40 minutes, and so on. How many bacteria will there be in 6 hours? Write your answer using exponents, then evaluate.

Most Bacteria reproduce by a type of simple cell division known as binary fission.
Each species reproduce best at a specific temperature and moisture level.
Solution:
We know that, 1 h = 60 min
6 h = 60 x 6 min = 360 min Given, a bacteria doubles itself in every 20 min.
Number of times it will double itself = 360 min/20 min = 18
∴ Bacteria will there in 6 h = 2 x 2 x 2 x … x 2 (18 times) =2¹⁸

Question 94:
Blubber makes up 27 per cent of a blue whale’s body weight. Deepak found the average weight of blue whales and used it to calculate the average weight of their blubber. He wrote the amount as 22 x 32 x 5 x 17 kg. Evaluate this amount.

Solution:
Weight calculated by Deepak = 22 x 32 x 5 x 17 kg
= 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 17 = 4 x 9 x 5 x 17
= 36 x 5 x 17= 180 x 17 = 3060 kg Hence, weight calculated by Deepak was 3060 kg.

Question 95:
Life Science Application
The major components of human blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. A typical red blood cell has a diameter of approx 7 x 10^-6 metre. A typical platelet has a diameter of approximately 2.33 x 10^-6 metre.
Which has a greater diameter, a red blood cell or a platelet?
Solution:
Given, diameter of red blood cell = 7 x 10^-6 m
and diameter of platelet = 2.33 x 10^-6 m
We know that, two numbers written in scientific notation can be compared. The number with the larger power of 10 is greater than the number with the smaller power of 10. If the powers of ten are the same, then the number with the larger factor is the larger number. Therefore, red blood cell has a greater diameter than a platelet.

Question 96:
