(iv) 3600

It can be written as

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 4

So we get

3600 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 24 × 32 × 52

(v) 1350

It can be written as

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 5

So we get

1350 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 2 × 33 × 52

(vi) 1176

It can be written as

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 6

So we get

1176 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 × 7 = 23 × 3 × 72

7. If a = 2 and b = 3, find the value of:

(i) (a + b)2

(ii) (b – a)3

(iii) (a × b)a

(iv) (a × b)b

Solution:

(i) (a + b)2

By substituting the values of a and b

= (2 + 3)2

On further calculation

= 52

= 5 × 5

= 25

(ii) (b – a)3

By substituting the values of a and b

= (3 – 2)3

On further calculation

= 13

= 1 × 1 × 1

= 1

(iii) (a × b)a

By substituting the values of a and b

= (2 × 3)2

On further calculation

= 62

= 6 × 6

= 36

(iv) (a × b)b

By substituting the values of a and b

= (2 × 3)3

On further calculation

= 63

= 6 × 6 × 6

= 216

8. Express:

(i) 1024 as a power of 2.

(ii) 343 as a power of 7.

(iii) 729 as a power of 3.

Solution:

(i) 1024 as a power of 2.

It can be written as

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 7

So we get

1024 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 210

(ii) 343 as a power of 7.

It can be written as

So we get

343 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 73

(iii) 729 as a power of 3.

It can be written as

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 9

So we get

729 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 36

9. If 27 × 32 = 3x × 2y; find the values of x and y.

Solution:

It is given that

27 × 32 = 3x × 2y

So we get

27 = 3x

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 10

Here

27 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 33 = 3x

We get

x = 3x

Similarly

32 = 2y

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 11

Here

32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 25 = 2y

We get

y = 5

10. If 64 × 625 = 2a × 5b; find: (i) the values of a and b. (ii) 2b × 5a.

Solution:

(i) the values of a and b

It is given that

64 × 625 = 2a × 5b

We know that

64 = 2a

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 12

We can write it as

64 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

So we get

64 = 26

a = 6

Similarly

625 = 5b

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 5 Image 13

We can write it as

625 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 5

So we get

625 = 54

b = 4

(ii) 2b × 5a

Substituting the values of a and b

= 24 × 56

It can be written as

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5

So we get

= 16 × 15625

= 250000
