Question 1.
Find the multiplicative inverse of the following:
(i) 2-4
(ii) 105
(iii) 7-2
(iv) 5-3
(v) 10-100
(i) The multiplicative inverse of 2-4 = 24
(ii) The multiplicative inverse of 10-5 = 105
(iii) The multiplicative inverse of 7-2 = 72
(iv) The multiplicative inverse of 5-3 = 53
(v) The multiplicative inverse of 10-100 = 10100

Question 2.
Expand the following numbers using exponents.
(i) 1025.63
(ii) 1256.249

 Number Expanded form (i) 1025.63 1 x 1000 + 0 x 100 + 2 x 10 + 5  x 1 $$\frac{6}{10}+\frac{3}{100}$$ or 1 x 103 + 2 x 101 + 5 x 10° + 6 x 10-1 + 3 x 10-2 (ii) 1025.249 1 x 1000 +2 x 100 +5 x 10 + 6 x 1 + $$\frac{2}{10}+\frac{4}{100}+\frac{9}{1000}$$ or 1 x 103 + 2 x 102 + 5 x 101 + 6 x 10° + 2 x 10-1 + 9 x 10-3

Question 1.
Simplify and write in exponential form.
(i) (-2)-3 x (-2)-4
(ii) p3 x p-10
(iii) 32 x 3-5 x 36
(i) (-2)-3 x (-2)-4 = (-2)3-4
[am x an = am+n]
= (-2)-7 = $$\frac{1}{(-2)^{7}}$$

(ii) p3 x p-10 = p3 + (-10) = p3 – 10 = p7 or $$\frac{1}{\mathrm{p}^{7}}$$

(iii) 32 x 3-5 x 36 = 32 + (- 5) + 6 = 32 – 5 + 6 = 38-5 = 33

Question 1.
Write the following numbers in standard form.
(i) 0.000000564
(ii) 0.0000021
(iii) 15240000
(i) 0.000000564 = $$\frac{564}{1000000000}=\frac{564}{10^{9}}$$
= $$\frac{5.64 \times 10^{2}}{10^{9}}$$ = 5.64 x 10-7

(ii) 0.0000021 = $$\frac{21}{10000000}=\frac{21}{10^{7}}$$
= $$\frac{2.1 \times 10}{10^{7}}$$ = 2.1 x 101-7 = 2.1 x 10-6

(iii) 15240000 = 1524 x 10000
= 1.524 x 1000 x 10000 = 1.524 x 107
∴ 15240000 = 1.524 x 107

Question 2.
Write all the facts give in the standard form.
= $$\frac{7}{1000000}$$ x 10-6 m
Size of the plant cell = $$\frac{7}{10000000} \mathrm{~m}=\frac{1.29 \times 10^{2}}{10000000} \mathrm{~m}$$
Now = $$\frac{7 \times 10^{-6}}{1.29 \times 10^{-5}}=\frac{7 \times 10^{-1}}{1.29}$$
= $$\frac{7 \times 10^{-1}}{1.3}=\frac{0.7}{1.3}=\frac{1}{2}$$ (approx)
