Solution:

RBSE Maths Chapter 3: Exercise 3.2 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: Find the value of x.

[4/3]^-4 x [4/3]^-5 = [4/3]^-3x

Solution:

Since the bases are the same, we can equate the powers.

-9 = -3x

x = -9/-3

x = -3

Question 2: Find the value of [3125 x 1296] / [6561 x 1875].

Solution:

RBSE Maths Chapter 3: Exercise 3.3 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: Write the following in standard form.

[i] 128000000

[ii] 0.0005

Solution:

= 1.28 x 100000000

= 1.28 x 10⁸

= 5 / 10000

= 5 / 10⁴

= 5 x 10^-4
