Question 531 Mark
$\bigg[\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-6}\div\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{3}\bigg]\times\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-9}=$ _________.
Answer
$\bigg[\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-6}\div\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{3}\bigg]\times\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-9}=\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-36}$
Solution:
Using laws of exponents, $a^m \div a^n=(a)^{m-n}$ and $a^m \times a^n=(a)^{m+n}$[$\therefore$ a is non-zero integer]
$\therefore$ $\bigg[\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-6}\div\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{3}\bigg]\times\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-9}$
$=\bigg[\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-6-3}\bigg]^3\times\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-9}$
$=\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-27}\times\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-9}$
$=\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-27-9}=\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-36}$
Hence, $\bigg[\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-6}\div\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{3}\bigg]\times\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-9}=\Big(\frac{2}{13}\Big)^{-36}$

Question 541 Mark
The expontential form for $(-2)^4\times\Big(\frac{5}{2}\Big)^4$ is $5^4$.
Answer
Using law of exponents, $a^m \div a^n=(a)^{m-n}$ and $\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big)^\text{m}=\frac{\text{a}^\text{m}}{\text{b}^\text{m}}$
[$\because a$ and $b$ are non-integers]
$\therefore$ $(-2)^4\times\Big(\frac{5}{2}\Big)^4=(2)^4\times\frac{(5)^4}{(2)^4}$
$=(2)^{4-4}\times5^4$
$=2^0\times5^4=5^4$ [$\because$ $(-a^m) = (a^m)$, if $m$ is an even number]

Question 551 Mark
By multiplying $\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^4$ by ________ we get $5^4$.
Answer
By multiplying $\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^4$ by ________ we get $5^4$.
Solution:
Let $x$ be multiplied with $\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^4$ to get $5^4$.
So,
$\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^4\times\text{x}=5^4$
$\therefore$ $\text{x}=\frac{5^4}{\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^4}$
$=5^4\times3^4\times5^{-4}=(5)^{4-4}\times3^4$ $\Big[\because\text{a}^{-\text{m}}=\frac{1}{\text{a}^\text{m}},\text{a}^\text{m}\times\text{a}^{\text{n}}=(a)^{\text{m}+\text{n}}\Big]$
