(iii) (72)3
(iv) (32)5 ​÷ 34
(v) 37 ​× 27
(vi) (521 ÷ 513) × 57

Answer:

 We have

(i)  23 x 24 x 25 = 2(3 + 4 + 5) = 212             [since am + an + ap = a(m+n+p)]

(ii) 512 ÷ 53 = 51253 = 512 - 3 = 59                [ since am ÷ an = am-n ]
(iii) (72)3 = 76                                                       [since (am)n = amn ]

(iv)(32)5 ÷ 34 = 310 ÷ 34                             [since (am)n = amn ]
                       = 3(10 - 4) = 36                      [since am ÷ an = am-n ]

(v) 37 ​× 27 = (3 x 2)7 = 67                          [since am x bm = (a x b)m ]

 (vi) (521 ÷  513) x 57 = 5(21 -13) x 57         [since am ÷ an = am-n ]
                                   = 58 x 57                  [since am x bn =a(m +n)]

(ii) (82 × 84) ÷ 83
(iii) 5752×53
(iv) 54×x10y554× x7y4

Answer:

We have
(i)  {(23)4 x 28} ÷ 212
    = {212 x 28} ÷ 212
    = 2(12 + 8) ÷ 212
 
   = 220 ÷ 212
   
= 2 (20 - 12) =  28

(ii) (82 x 84)  ÷ 83
    = 8(2 + 4) ÷ 83
    = 86 ÷ 83
   = 8(6-3) = 83 = (23)3 = 29

(iii) 5752 x 53 = 5(7-2) x 53
                        = 55 x 53
                        = 5(5 + 3 ) = 58

(iv) 54 ×x10y554×x7y4 = 5(4-4)×x(10-7)×y(5-4)
                         = 50×x3×y               [since 50 = 1]

Answer:

We have
(i)   {(32)3 x 26} x 56
    = {36 x 26} x 56             [since (am)n = amn]
    = 66 x 56                        [since am x bm = (a x b)m ]

⇒ n = 7 - 2  = 5

(iii) 8 x 2n+2 = 32
= (2)3 x 2n+2 = (2)5      [since 23 = 8 and 25 = 32]
= (2)3+n+2 = (2)5 
On equating the coefficients, we get
3 + n + 2 = 5
⇒ n + 5 = 5
⇒ n = 5 -5
⇒ n = 0

(iv) 72n+1 ÷ 49 = 73
= 72n+1 ÷ 72 = 73  [since 49 = 72]
=72n+172=73
