Using laws of exponents simplify and write the answer in exponential form:
(i) 32 × 34 × 38
(ii) 615 610
(iii) a3 × a2
(iv) 7x × 72
(v) (52)3 53
(vi) 25 × 55
(vii) a4 × b4
(viii) (34)3
(ix) (220 215) × 23
(x) (8t 82)
(i) We know that, (am × an = am + n)
Thus,
32 × 34 × 38
= (3)2 + 4 + 8
= 314
(ii) We have,
615 610
We know that,
(am an = am - n)
Thus,
615 610
= (6)15 - 10
= 65
(iii) We have,
a3 × a2
We know that,
(am × an = am + n)
Therefore,
a3 × a2
= (a)3 + 2
= a5
(iv) We have,
7x × 72
We know that,
(am × an = am + n)
Thus,
7x × 72
= (7)x + 2
(v) We have,
(52)3 53
Using identity:
(am)n = am × n
= 52 × 3 53
= 56 53
We know that,
(am an = am - n)
Thus,
56 53
= (5)6 - 3
= 53
(vi) We have,
25 × 55
We know that,
[am × bm = (a × b)m]
Thus,
25 × 55
= (2 × 5)5 + 5
= 105
(vii) We have,
a4 × b4
We know that,
[am × bm = (a × b)m]
Thus,
a4 × b4
= (a × b)4
(viii) We have,
(34)3
We know that,
(am)n = amn)
Thus,
(34)3
= (34)3
= 312
(ix) We have,
(220 215) × 23
We know that,
(am an = am - n)
Thus,
(220 - 15) × 23
= (2)5 × 23
We know that,
(am × an = am + n)
Thus,
(2)5 × 23
= (25 + 3)
= 28
(x) We have,
(8t 82)
We know that,
(am an = am - n)
Thus,
(8t 82)
= (8t – 2)
