Question

Collect 5 large numbers and 5 small numbers related in life and express them as exponents. Sample- Distance of the Earth from the moon
384400 km = 3.844 × 10⁵ km

Answer 1

Answer:

Exponential notation is a powerful way to express repeated

multiplication of the same number. Specifically, powers of 10

express very large and very small numbers in a manner which is

convenient to read, write and compare.

• For any non-zero integer a, a–m 1

m a

=

• Laws of exponents are

(a) am × an = am+n

(b) am ÷ an = am–n

(c) (am)

n = amn

(d) am × bm = (ab)

m

(e) a° = 1, where a ≠ 0

(f)

m m

m

a a

b b

• Numbers can be expressed in expanded form by using exponents.

• Very large and very small numbers can be expressed in standard

form.

• Standard form is also called scientific notation form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1 : Multiplicative inverse of 27 is

(a) 2–7 (b) 72 (c) – 27 (d) – 27

Solution : The Correct answer is (a).

Example 2 : The human body has about 100 billion cells. This number

can be written in exponential form as

(a) 10–11 (b) 1011 (c) 109 (d) 10–9

Solution : The correct answer is (b).

In examples 3 to 5, fill in the blanks to make the statements true.

Example 3 :

Solution : 54

Example 4 : ( ) ( ) 2 3 –3 –2 2 3 _____ × =

Solution : 6–6

Example 5 : The distance between earth and sun is 150 million

kilometres which can be written in exponential form as

_______.

Solution : 1.5 × 108 km

In examples 6 and 7, state whether the statements are true (T) or false (F):

Example 6 : Very small numbers can be expressed in standard form

using positive exponents.

Solution : False.

Example 7 : (–10) × (–10) × (–10) × (–10) = 10–4

Solution : False.
