= (4)0 + (1/2)4 ÷ (1/2)6 + (2/1)3

By further calculation

= 1 + (1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2) ÷ (1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2) + (2/1 × 2/1 × 2/1)

So we get

= 1 + (1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2) + 8

On further simplification

= 1 + 4 + 8

= 13

(vi) 5n × 25n-1 ÷ (5n-1 × 25n-1)

It can be written as

= 5n × 25n-1 × 1/ (5n-1 × 25n-1)

By further calculation

= 5n × 1/ 5n-1

So we get

= 5n – n + 1

= 51

6. If m = – 2 and n = 2; find the value of:

(i) m2 + n2 – 2mn

(ii) mn + nm

(iii) 6m-3 + 4n2

(iv) 2n3 – 3m

Solution:

(i) m2 + n2 – 2mn

It is given that

m = – 2 and n = 2

Substituting the values we get

= (-2)2 + 22 – 2 (-2) (2)

By further calculation

= 4 + 4 – (-8)

So we get

= 8 + 8

= 16

= 24

(ii) mn + nm

It is given that m = – 2 and n = 2

Substituting the values we get

= (-2)2 + (2)-2

We can write it as

= 4 + 1/2 × 1/2

We get the LCM = 4

= (4 × 4)/ (1 × 4) + 1/4

So we get

= (16 + 1)/ 4

= 17/ 4

= 4 ¼

(iii) 6m-3 + 4n2

It is given that

m = – 2 and n = 2

Substituting the values

= 6 (-2)-3 + 4 (2)2

It can be written as

= 6 × 1/ -2 × 1/ -2 × 1/ -2 + 4 × 2 × 2

So we get

= – 3/4 + 16

Here the LCM = 4

= (-3 + 16 × 4)/ 4

By calculation

= (-3 + 64)/ 4

= – 61/4

= 15 ¼

(iv) 2n3 – 3m

It is given that

m = – 2 and n = 2

By substituting the values

= 2 (2)3 – 3 (-2)

It can be written as

= 2 × (2 × 2 × 2) – 3 × (-2)

By further calculation

= 16 – 3 × (-2)

So we get

= 16 + 6

= 22
