Question 1.
Simplify and give reasons
(i) 4-3
(ii) (-2) 7
(iii) \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{-3}\)
(iv) (-3)-4
Solution:
(i) 4-3 \(\frac{1}{4^{3}}=\frac{1}{64}\) [∵ a-n = \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}^{\prime \prime}}\)

(ii) (-2) 7 = -(2) 7 = -128
[∵ 7 is an odd number]
[∵ (-a)n = -(an) if ‘n’ is odd]

(iii) \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{-3}\) = \(\frac{3^{-3}}{4^{-3}}=\frac{4^{3}}{3^{3}}=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^{3}\)

(ii) \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-3} \times\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-3} \times\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{-3}\)
Solution:
= \(\left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{5}\right)^{-3}\)
= \(\left(\frac{1}{40}\right)^{-3}\) [∵ am x bm x cm = (abc)m
= (40)3 [ ∵]\(\frac{1}{a^{-n}}\) = an ]

Question 6.
Find the value of ’n’ in each of the following:
(i) \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3} \times\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{5}=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{\mathrm{n}-2}\)
Solution:
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exponents and Powers Ex 4.1 9
Here bases are equal, so exponents are
also equal.
⇒ n – 2 = 8
⇒ n = 8 + 2 = 10
∴ n = 10

AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exponents and Powers Ex 4.1

(ii) (-3)n+1 x (-3)5 = (-3)3
Solution:
⇒(-3)n+1+5 = (-3)-4 [∵ am x an = am+n ]
⇒ (-3)n+6 = (-3)-4
⇒ n + 6 = -4
⇒ n = -4 – 6 = -10
⇒ n = -10

(iii) 72n+1 ÷ 49 = 73
Solution:
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exponents and Powers Ex 4.1 10
⇒ 72n+1-2 = 73 [ ∵ \(\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}=a^{m-n}\) ]
⇒ 72n – 1= 73
⇒ 2n – 1 = 3
⇒ 2n = 3 + 1 = 4
⇒ n = \(\frac{4}{2}\)
∴ n = 2

Question 7.
Find ’x’ if 2-3 = \(\frac{1}{2^{x}}\)
Solution:
2-3 = \(\frac{1}{2^{x}}\) = 2-x
⇒ 2-3 = 2-x [ \(\frac{1}{a^{n}}\) = a-n ]
⇒ -x = -3
∴ x = 3

Question 9.
If m = 3 and n = 2 find the value of
(i) 9m2 – 10n3
(ii) 2m2 n2
(iii) 2m3 + 3n2 – 5m2n
(iv) mn – nm
Solution:
1) 9m2 – 10n3
= 9(3)2 – 10(2)3
= 9 x 9 – 10 x8
= 81 – 80 = 1

(ii) 2m2 n2
= 2(3)2 (2)2
= 2 x 9 x 4 = 72

(iii) 2m3 + 3n2 – 5m2n
= 2(3)3 + 3(2)2 – 5(3)2(2)
= (2 x 27) + (3 x 4) – (5 x 9 x 2)
= 54 + 12 – 90
= 66 – 90 = – 24

(iv) mn – nm
= 32 – 23
= 3 x 3 – 2 x 2 x 2
= 9 – 8 = 1
